Abstract
Through unclear mechanisms, some women with diabetes mellitus demonstrate significant changes in glucose control around the time of their menses, including DKA. Accordingly, we propose that the terms catamenial DKA and catamenial hyperglycemia be used to refer to these disorders and that catamenial DKA be included in the differential diagnosis list of causes or precipitating events that can lead to DKA.
