Question

Insulin used in diabetic ketoacidosis

Q111 marksShort Answers★✓

Answer

Regular (soluble) insulin given as an IV infusion is used in diabetic ketoacidosis — chosen because it has a rapid onset of action and, given IV, allows precise, titratable control of blood glucose and rapid suppression of ketogenesis in this emergency setting.
