AB  - Despite  recent  advances  in  the  evaluation  and  medical  treatment  of  diabetes  in  pregnancy,  diabetic  ketoacidosis  (DKA)  remains  a  matter  of  significant  concern.  The  fetal  loss  rate  in  most  contemporary  series  has  been  estimated  to  range  from  10%  to  25%.  Fortunately,  since  the  advent  and  implementation  of  insulin  therapy,  the  maternal  mortality  rate  has  declined  to  1%  or  less.  In  order  to  favorably  influence  the  outcome  in  these  high-risk  patients,  it  is  imperative  that  the  obstetrician/provider  be  familiar  with  the  basics  of  the  pathophysiology,  diagnosis,  and  treatment  of  DKA  in  pregnancy.
