u want a good point

in NNHS.... Look for underlying precipitating factors. (order U/A, chest x ray, urine drug screen).
But an excellent point is by dr f is that silent MI can precipitate high glucose levels. It is smart
to do an EKG to rule MI. MI can precipitate NNHS. "Any Stressors CAN!"

What does NNHS stand for?

hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketoacid syndrome sorry* (HHNS

he did a good job explaining on the workup on this... i needed that because mcq only states facts
but cases explains why like in real life
