Continuous Ketone Monitoring in Hospital Care: Could It Improve DKA Management?

Continuous ketone monitoring device on a patient in a hospital with clinician reviewing real-time ketone and glucose readings

Diabetic ketoacidosis remains one of the most serious complications of diabetes, yet managing it often relies on intermittent data points. What if clinicians could see ketone levels change in real time instead of waiting hours between lab tests? Continuous ketone monitoring for DKA is now emerging as a promising concept …
