ABSTRACT
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are new antidiabetic drugs that regulate blood glucose levels by increasing urinary glucose excretion. In May 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that SGLT2 inhibitors may lead to ketoacidosis. In this report, we describe a case of life-threatening euglycemic ketoacidosis associated with SGLT2 inhibition and evaluate possible mechanisms and triggers.
