Causes of diabetic ketoacidosis among adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: insulin pump users and non-users

Abstract

Despite non-adherence being common in both CSII and MDII, a combination of social factors, education and insulin pump malfunction, such as pump/tubing problems, might be playing a pivotal role in DKA etiology in young adults with T1DM, especially in CSII users. Continued education on pump use may reduce the rate of DKA in pump users.
