Abstract
The concomitant occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolarity is reported in two children, as early symptoms of misdiagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus. The precipitating factor for both severe metabolic abnormalities was the ingestion of a large amount of high-carbohydrate-containing fluids, a few days before admission. A similar situation has never been reported before in the literature. A successful therapeutic scheme is described.Keywords
