**9. Conclusıon**

DKA is a life-threatening condition which is the most common cause of death in children and adolescents with T1DM and a mortality rate <1% in adult subjects. DKA is a preventa‐ ble complication of T1DM. Education about the precipitating factors of DKA and rapid ac‐ cess to health care providers contributes to better outcomes and fewer recurrences. DKA can be controlled in a period of 12-36 hours with an appropriate treatment. Thus, complications can be prevented and reduction in mortality rates can be achieved.
