Question: how long do you stay in hospital with diabetic ketoacidosis?
Answer: In some studies, the average length of stay in the hospital for patients with DKA has decreased from 5.7 to 3.4 d, being longer for patients categorized in the “severe” group[2,7]. In the authors' experience, some patients can even be discharged within 23 h of hospital admission despite an initial severe acidemia.
