these observations indicate that hyperkalemia in a diabetic patient can occur in the absence of a defect in potassium excretion and are consistent with the interpretation that insulinopenia , as evidenced by hyperglycemia , can result in hyperkalemia due to diminshed translocation of both potassium and glucose from the extracellular to the intracellular compartment .
