Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are two of the most serious acute complications of diabetes. The occurrence of hyperglycaemic emergency in pregnancy compromises both the fetus and the mother and is associated with excess fetal and maternal mortality. It usually occurs in the later stages of pregnancy and is also seen in newly presenting type 1 diabetes patients. We present a case of hyperglycaemic emergency in a pregnant woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Key words: Diabetes, Emergency, Pregnancy
