Very low carbohydrate diet and SGLT-2-inhibitor: double jeopardy in relation to ketoacidosis
Abstract
Diabetic euglycaemic ketoacidosis is a possible adverse effect of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). We report a case in which the combination of SGLT2i and a strict very low-carbohydrate diet led to severe diabetic ketoacidosis in a young Caucasian man with type 2 diabetes.
