Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are the most recently approved drug class for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Although they are largely well-tolerated, their intake has been associated with euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in some rare cases. We report the case of a 70-year-old male with type 2 diabetes and no history of DKA, who started therapy with empagliflozin one day before presenting with acute pancreatitis and laboratory findings consistent with euglycemic DKA. SGLT2i can induce euglycemic DKA from the first dose. Given the atypical presentation, a high degree of clinical suspicion is required to recognize this complication.

Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) related to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I), despite being reported as consistent, though infrequent, adverse effect in all trials on SGLT2-I in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), still remains poorly known in the real world. On the other hand, the use of this new class of antihyperglycemic agents is expected to increase based on the recent solid evidence of remarkable cardiorenal protection. Therefore, improving awareness on risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of euDKA is essential to allow correct implementation of SGLT2-I in clinical practice. We here report a T2D patient admitted to the emergency department and then transferred to the nephrology-dialysis unit because of severe euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA) related to sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I). In our patient, a concurrent acute kidney injury at presentation, initially attributed to excessive use of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory agents, and the absence of severe hyperglycemia led to delayed diagnosis and proper therapy. The detailed description of decision-making process for diagnosis and therapy, and the analysis of precipitating factors as well, discloses the helpful contribution of nephrologist to optimize prevention and management of euDKA.

Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Abstract Background Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is an uncommon but life-threatening complication associated with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors that causes lower than expected blood glucose levels typically seen in diabetic ketoacidosis. Case presentation We present a case of 64-year-old Caucasian male patient previously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor who developed severe ketoacidosis. Serum glucose levels on initial presentation were slightly above normal baseline level. The patient was revealed to have latent autoimmune diabetes in adults. Conclusion This case highlights the importance of prescribing sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors to the correct patient population and the significance of accurately differentiating between various types of diabetes.

Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis

Abstract Background Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are among the new-generation oral antihyperglycemic agents that have been used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. With the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and rise of cases in the third wave, diagnosis of life-threatening euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis may easily be overlooked or missed. Case presentation We present the case of a 37-year-old Malay gentleman with underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus on empagliflozin, who presented to our hospital with symptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 infection and diabetic ketoacidosis. He developed severe rebound euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis due to the continuous usage of empagliflozin for glycemic control alongside intravenous insulin. Conclusions Physicians should have a high index of suspicion in diagnosing and managing euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, including withholding treatment of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors during the acute management of diabetic ketoacidosis.
