Abstract

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are now considered second-line treatment agents for type 2 diabetes and offer a unique treatment approach with added cardiorenal benefits. Drugs in this class increase the risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, which may be difficult to diagnose if clinicians are not aware of the risk factors and subtle symptoms. This article describes a case of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with coronary artery disease who was taking a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor and experienced acute mental status changes immediately after heart catheterization.
