Catamenial Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Acta Endo (Buc) 2022, 18 (4): 538-540doi: 10.4183/aeb.2022.538
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a common medical
emergency situation. In rare cases, glycemic changes
associated with the menstrual cycle may create a predisposing
factor for DKA. In the absence of facilitating factors that may
cause DKA, catamenial DKA should be considered. In the
patients with catamenial DKA, increasing the insulin dose
1-2 days before menstruation may prevent the development
of hyperglycemia or DKA associated with menstrual cycle.
In this study, we present a 21-year-old female with type
1 diabetes mellitus (DM) that recurrently applied to our
hospital due to DKA a few days prior to menstrual bleeding.
Keywords: catamenial, diabetic ketoacidosis, menstruation.
