Abstract: A system is provided for a keto-acidosis protocol which includes a computer processor having patient parameter data input. The patient parameter data input to the computer processor may include the patient's blood glucose level, a target patient blood glucose level, a patient's carbon dioxide level, a patient's sodium level, a patient's blood pH value, and the patient's potassium level which has been measured. A patient hydration computer program assesses the patient's hydration state. Coupled to the patient hydration computer program is a patient potassium computer program to assess the patient's potassium level and a patient blood pH value computer program assesses the patient's blood pH value. A display monitor is coupled to the computer processor for displaying indicia thereon responsive to the actuation of the patient hydration computer program, the patient potassium computer program, and the patient blood pH value computer program.
