AACE’s Preventing Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Clinical Decisions in Action is a dynamic program tailored for endocrinologists and their interdisciplinary teams—including nurses, NPs, PAs, and diabetologists—as well as primary care clinicians managing patients with diabetes. Despite remarkable advances in diabetes technology, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) still drives over 188,000 U.S. hospitalizations each year, and many clinicians feel underprepared to apply prevention and early-intervention protocols in high-risk populations. To close these persistent educational gaps—limited ketone monitoring, inconsistent sick-day insulin adjustments, and unfamiliarity with emerging tools such as continuous ketone monitoring (CKM)—this program translates foundational knowledge into real-world decision-making through interactive patient cases.
Learners move through structured case discussions, interactive modules, and actionable resource walkthroughs that reinforce guideline-based diagnostic criteria, sharpen interpretation of glucose and ketone trends, and build confidence in early recognition and prevention strategies. Along the way, participants strengthen existing ketone-monitoring practices and gain insight into technology-enabled care approaches that drive earlier intervention, better patient outcomes, and lasting clinical impact.
