We report a case series of three patients with latent autoimmune diabetes who presented with ketoacidosis, including one case with normal blood glucose levels, in the context of SGLT2 inhibitor use. SGLT2 inhibitors should only be used with caution and close clinical monitoring in patients with latent autoimmune diabetes. A clinical risk score permits targeted autoantibody testing and should be undertaken prior to commencement of SGLT2 inhibitors and/or cessation of insulin. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/22404 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.amjmed.2019.12.006 | ORCID: | Journal: | The American Journal of Medicine | PubMed URL: | 31923401 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes diabetic ketoacidosis latent autoimmune diabetes |
