Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) in Children Recognition and Management

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of Type 1 diabetes that occurs when insulin is absent and the body breaks down fat as an emergency fuel source, producing acidic ketone bodies. DKA is the presentation in approximately 30 to 40 percent of newly diagnosed children with Type 1 diabetes in India and can also occur in known diabetic children when illness, missed insulin doses, or pump failure disrupt insulin delivery. Dr Anjana Hulse provides education to families about recognising DKA symptoms including fruity breath, vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, and altered consciousness and the importance of seeking emergency care immediately when these occur. At Hulse Clinic, JP Nagar, Bengaluru, she ensures every family with a child newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes understands DKA prevention, sick-day rules for insulin management during illness, when to check for ketones, and when to go directly to the emergency department without delay.

What is the closed-loop insulin system and is it available in India?

The closed-loop insulin system, sometimes called an artificial pancreas, represents the most significant advance in Type 1 diabetes management technology over the past decade. It combines a continuous glucose monitor with an insulin pump and an algorithm that automatically adjusts insulin delivery in real time based on glucose readings — without requiring constant manual input from the family.
Who is it for: Children who are already using an insulin pump and CGM and whose families are comfortable with the technology — typically after settling into pump therapy first
Available in India: Yes. Closed-loop systems are available in India, though device selection and cost vary. I discuss available options with families during consultations
Benefits: Significant improvement in time in range, reduction in hypoglycaemia, and reduced overnight parental burden — particularly transformative for families doing manual overnight checks
Not suitable for everyone: Younger children, newly diagnosed patients, or those not yet on pump therapy are typically not the starting point for closed-loop systems
In a standard insulin pump, the pump delivers insulin at rates set by the family and the diabetes team, but the family must manually adjust the dose when glucose changes. In a closed-loop system, the algorithm continuously analyses CGM data and increases or decreases insulin delivery automatically to keep glucose in range. This dramatically reduces the time parents spend managing glucose manually, improves time in range, and reduces the risk of overnight hypoglycaemia.
I discuss closed-loop systems with families at Hulse Clinic, JP Nagar, Bengaluru once they are settled into their initial insulin management and when the child and family are ready for this next level of technology.

How does Type 1 diabetes affect a child at school and during sports?

Children with Type 1 diabetes lead completely normal lives — they attend school, play competitive sports, go on field trips, and participate in every activity their peers do. What changes is the preparation and communication required to do these things safely. This is one of the things I spend significant time on with families in my practice at Hulse Clinic, JP Nagar, because managing diabetes well in daily life requires practical knowledge, not restriction.
School: Teachers and relevant school staff should understand what Type 1 diabetes is, how to recognise hypoglycaemia symptoms, and what to do. I provide families with a written school management plan that covers this clearly
Hypoglycaemia at school: The child should have fast-acting glucose available in the classroom at all times, and staff should know that a child showing signs of hypoglycaemia should never be left alone
Exercise and sports: Physical activity lowers blood glucose, and the relationship between exercise and glucose needs to be understood and managed. This typically involves adjusting insulin doses or taking additional carbohydrate before and after activity
CGM at school: Many families find CGM particularly valuable during school hours because parents can remotely monitor glucose without the child needing to leave class for finger-prick checks
Overnight trips and camps: With appropriate planning and staff awareness, these are entirely achievable
Exercise is actively encouraged for children with Type 1 diabetes. The health benefits are the same as for any child, and the confidence that comes from participating fully in physical activities is important for the child's relationship with their diabetes and their quality of life.

What is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and should my child use one?

A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small sensor worn on the skin that measures glucose in the fluid beneath the skin every few minutes and displays readings on a phone or dedicated reader. Unlike traditional finger-prick testing, which provides a single glucose reading at one point in time, CGM shows the direction glucose is moving, how fast it is changing, and alerts the family when glucose is rising or falling outside the target range. How it works: A small sensor with a thin filament is inserted just under the skin and is typically replaced every 7 to 14 days depending on the device Real-time readings: Glucose readings appear every 5 minutes on a linked phone or reader, showing current level and trend arrows Alerts: The device alerts when glucose drops toward hypoglycaemia or rises toward hyperglycaemia, including during the night when parents cannot manually check Sharing: CGM data can be shared in real time with parents' phones even when the child is at school, allowing remote monitoring I recommend CGM for all children with Type 1 diabetes in my practice. The benefits are particularly significant overnight, when hypoglycaemia is most dangerous and least detectable, and for young children who cannot reliably communicate symptoms. CGM access has improved significantly in India over the past few years, and I discuss the available devices and their relative advantages with every family.

What are the warning signs of Type 1 diabetes in children?

The warning signs of Type 1 diabetes in children are directly related to rising blood glucose in the absence of insulin. The most important thing I want parents to know is that these signs can develop rapidly, and a child with multiple symptoms should have blood glucose tested the same day - not after a period of watching and waiting.
The classic presentation follows the four Ts:

  • Thirst - unusual and persistent increase in thirst, drinking much more than normal
  • Toilet - frequent urination, including bedwetting in a child who was previously dry at night
  • Tiredness - unexplained fatigue and lethargy despite adequate sleep
  • Thinner - weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
    Other signs that may accompany these include blurred vision, recurrent skin or urinary tract infections, and fruity-smelling breath (a sign of ketones). The most dangerous presentation is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which can develop within hours to days of symptoms and requires emergency hospital treatment. Approximately 30 to 40 percent of children newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in India present in DKA, often because the diagnosis was not considered earlier.
    If your child has any combination of these symptoms, seek same-day blood glucose testing. At Hulse Clinic, JP Nagar, Bengaluru, I see children urgently when diabetes is suspected and ensure diagnosis and management begin without delay.
