Background: Pediatric patients with new onset diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) generally present with nausea and vomiting with/ without a preceding history of polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss (1).
Type II diabetes is more subtle in children, who are usually overweight and either have mild or no polyuria or polydipsia.
