Diabetic ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia in management of type 1 diabetes during 2003–2013 Tatsuhiko Urakami, Masako Habu and Junichi Suzuki Department of Pediatrics, Nihon University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) are the most serious problems encountered during the management of pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D), but basal bolus therapy with multiple daily injections or continuous s.c. insulin infusion (CSII) have recently been shown to decrease the frequency of these acute complications.1 We investigated the frequency of DKA and SH, and their causes in the management of pediatric T1D during 2003–2013. DKA was defined as blood glucose >200 mg/dL, venous pH
