Sammanfattning
A case of lethal diabetic ketoacidosis in a 30-year-old male schizophrenic patient with undiagnosed diabetes is reported. The case emphasizes the need of special precautions in psychiatric patients, especially those treated with second-generation antipsychotics because of the risk of weight gain and diabetes.
