Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis with Persistent Diuresis Treated with Canagliflozin
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diabetic ketoacidosis is characterized by hyperglycemia, anion-gap acidosis, and increased plasma ketones. After the resolution of hyperglycemia, persistent diuresis is rare. We herein report the case of a 27-year-old Asian woman with type 2 diabetes who was treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor (canagliflozin) who developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis and persistent diuresis in the absence of hyperglycemia. Physicians should consider euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in the differential diagnosis of patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Ketoacidosis is a significant and often a life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus seen mostly in type 1 diabetes mellitus as well as occasionally in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetic ketoacidosis usually manifests with high blood glucose more than 250 mg/dL, but euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is defined as ketoacidosis associated with blood glucose level less than 250 mg/dL. Norma...

More than 10 million Canadians are currently living with diabetes.1 Of those, 90% have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).1 Recently launched oral medications known as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013 for treating T2DM.2 Approval by Health Canada was granted in 2014.3 Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors (canagliflozin,...

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors improve glycemic control by a reversible inhibition of the sodium-glucose cotransporters in the renal proximal tubules resulting in increased urinary glucose. This unique mechanism, independent of insulin secretion and beta cell function, has made this class of medication desirable in patients with type 2 diabetes. However in May 2015, the US Fo...
