This paper describes the treatment of adult diabetic ketoacidosis in an African rural hospital in which there were only rudimentary diagnostic facilities. It is intended to be a practical guide to doctors working under similar conditions. It also deals with some of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying diabetic ketoacidosis but emphasises the use of clinical skills in patient assessment and management.
