This week’s inpatient service brought to you by “Not every anion gap metabolic acidosis with hyperglycemia is DKA!” Don’t assume it’s DKA, and take a look at BHB, UA, and VBG to help you decide! 💪🏼

🤔Ever wondered if they really need that levothyroxine?
It's the *most prescribed drug in the US*, with around 7% of people taking it.
😮Up to 90% of those on LT4 may not actually need it.
‼️Beware: TSH fluctuates! It rises in winter and dips in summer.
