SGLT-2 inhibitors may be increasingly used in people with type 1 diabetes as new licenses are obtained. These drugs have the potential to improve glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes with the added benefit of weight loss, better control of blood pressure and more time in optimal glucose range. SGLT-2 inhibitors are associated with higher incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis without significant hyperglycaemia. The present ABCD position statement is to mitigate this risk and other potential complications in people taking these drugs. Particular caution needs to be exercised in people who are at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis due to low calorie diet, illnesses, injuries, starvation, excessive exercise, excessive alcohol consumption and reduced insulin administration among other precipitating factors for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Dapagliflozin (sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT-2) inhibitor) and sotagliflozin (SGLT-1/2 inhibitor) are two of the drugs of the SGLT inhibitor class which have been recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in people with type 1 diabetes with body mass index ≥27 kg/m2. Dapagliflozin is licensed in the UK for use in the NHS while sotagliflozin may be available in future. These and possibly other SGLT inhibitors may be increasingly used in people with type 1 diabetes as new licences are obtained. These drugs have the potential to improve glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes with the added benefit of weight loss, better control of blood pressure and more time in optimal glucose range. However, SGLT inhibitors are associated with a higher incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis without significant hyperglycaemia. The present ABCD/Diabetes UK joint updated position statement is to guide people with type 1 diabetes and clinicians using these drugs to help mitigate this risk and other potential complications. Particularly, caution needs to be exercised in people who are at risk of diabetic ketoacidosis due to low calorie diets, illnesses, injuries, starvation, excessive exercise, excessive alcohol consumption and reduced insulin administration, among other precipitating factors for diabetic ketoacidosis.

SGLT-2 inhibitors are currently neither licensed nor recommended in people with type 1 diabetes. The management of type 1 diabetes consists essentially of insulin treatment, monitoring and education. SGLT-2 inhibitors can be a useful adjunct to insulin treatment in improving glycaemic control. They may also potentially be helpful in reducing cardiovascular and renal complications in people with type 1 diabetes. However, further studies will be needed to establish this. SGLT-2 inhibitors can cause diabetic ketoacidosis and certain circumstances appear to increase this risk. They should therefore be used with caution all the time and only under specialist supervision. Higher amputation rates have been reported with some SGLT-2 inhibitors and hence they should be used with caution in patients with peripheral vascular disease.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> This study aims to contrast the side effects of treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and placebo in insulin-treated adult type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Double-blinded randomized controlled trials that compare the above outcome were searched in electronic databases. Next, the risk of bias in eligible studies was assessed, and comparable outcomes were compared by a random-effects meta-analysis. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Seven eligible papers comprising about 3,900 participants were studied. All trials suffered from an unclear risk of detection bias and performance bias. In comparison with the placebo group, the risk of genital infection (RR = 3.22, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001, 95% CI 2.31–4.49, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%) and diabetic ketoacidosis (RR = 2.66, <i>p</i> = 0.002, 95% CI 1.45–4.89, <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> = 0%) was higher in the SGLT2i-treated group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> SGLT2i treatment increased the risk of genital infection and diabetic ketoacidosis in adult insulin-treated T1DM patients.
