Is there any difference in the treatment choice for DKA and HHS?

Published

I am a nursing student and I am researching complications of DM. When treating DKA or HHS, is there any differences in the treatment plan for these?

So, understanding the difference between the two states is key to understanding the treatment differences. So start there, what's the difference?

ETA: because the treatment is SIMILAR, and people can have BOTH.
