Abstract
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.
