Fulltext PDFWe present a perplexing case of a patient who developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) concomitantly with acute pancreatitis (AP) and severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), without a prior diagnosis of diabetes. The absence of traditional diabetes markers and a transient diabetes condition post-pancreatitis challenge the standard pathogenesis models for DKA. This case also underscores the critical importance of considering acute metabolic disturbances as potential precipitants of severe glycemic crises. It further highlights the complex interplay between these conditions, challenging the conventional understanding of their pathogenesis and raising important diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.
