cienfuegosAdditional UW fun facts regarding Potassium and DKA:
use caution giving insulin and IV fluids to dehydrated hyperglycemic because i forces K in cells causing fast decrease of extracellular Potassium, thus give K supplementation even when serum K elevated+32019-07-24T00:24:10Z

This explanation is faulty. Insulin causes K to go inside via upregulating NaKATPase activity. Nothing to with H+ exchange as far as Insulin is concerned.
