The extremely high level of glucose in the blood causes severe dehydration and circulating fluid
volume depletion secondary to osmotic diuresis.
HHS is different from DKA because a small amount of circulating insulin remains available,
resulting in the absence of ketosis and acidosis - ANS-What is the main cause of hyperosmolar
