Fasting for diabetic ketoacidosis treatment
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.

This trial tests if an IV medicine called arginine hydrochloride can help manage diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in people with type 2 diabetes. It's for those who come to the ER with very high blood sugar and ketones.
This study looks at whether the level of a protein called ferritin in your blood can help predict how well you recover from diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If you have DKA and are over 18, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how a short period of fasting affects the body's immune system and metabolism in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help doctors understand how to better support patients during critical illness.
This trial tests a special feeding schedule where ICU patients receive nutrition during the day and fast at night, which may help their recovery. It aims to see if this approach is safe and beneficial.
This trial tests a special diet drink (ketone body supplement) for ICU patients who are starting tube feeding. It looks at whether the drink can help the body use energy in a different way, possibly improving recovery.
