Which is false regarding alcoholic ketoacidosis?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Low dose insulin is not typically a part of the treatment regimen for alcoholic ketoacidosis. The mainstay of treatment involves hydration, correcting electrolyte imbalances, and providing thiamine and glucose to halt ketogenesis and promote metabolism of ketone bodies. Insulin is generally not required because the condition is not primarily due to insulin deficiency but rather to an increased ratio of NADH/NAD+ from alcohol metabolism, leading to impaired gluconeogenesis and increased ketogenesis.
