DM 1 pts need to get annual flu shots and pneumococcal vaccine? I bet the relationship is somewhere in there deeply hidden. In Mx of DKA, u do not need two large bore cannulas for insulin;u need it for fluid resuscitation..lol! Is important to note he specifies on diagnostic determination of these DM subsets, differential investigations are not really relevant for suspicion of DM at any stage and age. Need to concentrate on clinical pharmacy of metformin understandable!

I learned the same material in pharmacy school, maybe I can take the USMLE.
Anyway, according to JNC7 and ADA guideline, hypertension should be less than 130 mm Hg (not less than 140 mm Hg)
-
Patients with diabetes should achieve a target blood pressure of less than 130/80 mm Hg.

One of the screening modalities now is included HbA1C>6.5%, If + repeat testing.
Potassium reserves on DKA are actually depleted, hyper K is due to extracell shift due to lack of insulin. Treat for DKA with insulin and I.V fluids is added K when its level goes <4.5 mEq/l or if K level is normal is added with IV fluids since the beginning.

Hey can you please tell me the source you are using. I used AFP guidelies and wrote this algorithm in 2009 where it was the latest recommendation. If they have changed it please tell me your source. Thanks. @TurkiMD
