Differentiating Between Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Syndrome and Diabetic Ketoacidosis Which common differences between hyperosmolar hyperglycemia syndrome (HHS) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) does the nurse recognize in a client with diabetes? Select all that apply. DKA presents with a rapid onset of symptoms, whereas HHS develops gradually. HHS generally presents with higher blood glucose levels than DKA. DKA is associated with significant ketosis, while HHS typically does not have ketosis. HHS often leads to more severe acid-base imbalances than DKA. DKA is more commonly seen in individuals with type 1 diabetes, while HHS is more common in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
