The transition from IV Insulin Infusion (IVII) to Subcutaneous Long-acting insulin injections in Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) management frequently results in rebound hyperglycemia, particularly if there are high insulin requirements that can adversely affect the DKA recovery, increase Length Of Stay (LOS), morbidity, and mortality. Investigators propose a prospective, open-label, intervention, non-randomized, controlled study to test the hypothesis that an insulin glargine dose of 0.4 Units/kg early administered (within four hours) of IVII initiation in DKA management in adult would be effective and safe in shortening the time to anion gap closure comparing to the standard practice.
