Acute pancreatitis and euglycemic DKA, EDKA, are uncommon but potentially fatal complications in diabetic patients on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2). This case report presents the exceptional occurrence of a 49-year-old; male patient diagnosed with empagliflozin-induced EDKA coupled with T2DM as a precursor to acute pancreatitis. Euglycemic DKA may be produced after administering just one dose of SGLT2. On discharge, empagliflozin was managed to stop. Since the initial administration of SGLT2, this diagnosis should be considered a potential consequence. Appropriate medical treatment is made possible by diagnosing and treating this life-threatening condition promptly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
