Abstract
We studied 65 adult patients without a history of diabetes who were diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes was common (42%) among this group of Korean patients with new-onset diabetes presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis. These patients were younger, showed a greater defect in insulin secretion.
