A case of type 2 diabetes mellitus leading to euglycemic diabetic
ketoacidosis in 3 days after starting sodium-glucose cotransporter 2
inhibitor while on a very-low-carbohydrate diet
Abstract
This paper presents a case with type 2 diabetes mellitus on a very
low-carbohydrate diet who developed euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis
(EDKA) 3 days after starting sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors
(SGLT2i). When initiating SGLT2i, healthcare providers should confirm
the implementation of a low-carbohydrate diet and provide intensive
guidance to prevent EDKA.
