Abstract
The enigmatic triangle of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis is a rare phenomenon occurring in only 4% of DKA cases.This triad can be complicated by non-immune haemolytic anaemia secondary to hyperlipidemia, which leads to increased fragility of the erythrocyte due to destabilization of red cell membranes.Supportive treatment with intravenous insulin administration and blood transfusions is the cornerstone of treatment.
