Implication

This case reveals diabetic ketoacidosis induced by corticosteroids and short-acting beta-agonists in an asthmatic patient, highlighting a clinical risk.

Key Points

Diabetic ketoacidosis was confirmed through blood gas analysis and severe hyperglycemia over 500 mg/dL.
Treatment involved intravenous insulin, fluid resuscitation, and electrolyte replacement, leading to stabilization.
This case illustrates that missing insulin doses combined with asthma medications may quickly worsen metabolic status.
Early recognition of atypical DKA symptoms can prevent morbidity and improve outcomes in vulnerable patients.
