Title: This is the case of a patient with Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis (euDKA), ascites, poor nutrition and diabetes mellitus type II on SGLT2 inhibitor. Background: euDKA is an under-reported and under-diagnosed condition that mainly occurs in type I diabetes mellitus patients and in patients with prolonged starvation. The aim of this report is to shed the light on an additional risk facto...

Recent clinical studies have revealed the treatment of diabetic patients with sodium glucose co-transporter2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events. Using nicotinamide and streptozotocin (NA/STZ) -treated ApoE KO mice, we investigated the effects of short-term (seven days) treatment with the SGLT2 inhibitor luseogliflozin on mRNA levels related to atherosclerosis in...

Remogliflozin etabonate (RE), the prodrug of remogliflozin, is an inhibitor of the sodium glucose-dependent renal transporter 2 (SGLT2), enabling urinary glucose excretion to reduce hyperglycemia for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Renal function declines more rapidly in patients with type 2 diabetes, making it difficult or unsafe to continue on some antidiabetic therapeutics. In an initial e...

Since the approval of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors by the US Food and Drug Administration for type 2 diabetes, there have been several reports of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in patients using this class of medication. We present a case of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis where ketonemia and glucosuria persisted well beyond the expected effect of dapagliflozin. Our pati...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management is complex, with few patients successfully achieving recommended glycemic targets with monotherapy, most progressing to combination therapy, and many eventually requiring insulin. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are an emerging class of antidiabetes agents with an insulin-independent mechanism of action, making them suitable for use i...

An online meeting of experts held on November 6, 2020 describes the results EMPA-REG OUTCOME and EMPEROR-Reduced trials sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin. We analyzed cardiovascular renal outcomes in patients with without type 2 diabetes (T2D) receiving A number proposals recommendations have been adopted regarding further study effects empagliflozin its practical ...

BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are new oral antidiabetic drugs that reduce hyperglycemia by promoting urinary glucose excretion. Glycosuria produced by SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with weight loss, mainly due to reduced fat volume. We investigated the effects of empagliflozin (selective SGLT2 inhibitor) and linagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) on steatohepatitis and f...

INTRODUCTION Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exhibit diuretic activity, which is a possible mechanism underlying the cardiovascular benefit of these inhibitors. However, the osmotic diuresis-induced increase in urine volume, and the risk of dehydration have been of concern with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying SGLT2 inhibitor...

In the kidney, glucose in glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed primarily by sodium-glucose cotransporters 1 (SGLT1) and 2 (SGLT2) along the proximal tubules. SGLT2 has been characterized as a high capacity, low affinity pathway responsible for reabsorption of the majority of filtered glucose in the early part of proximal tubules, and SGLT1 reabsorbs the residual glucose in the distal part. Inhibit...

OBJECTIVE—Although initially effective, sulfonylureas are associated with poor glycemic durability, weight gain, and hypoglycemia. Dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), reduces hyperglycemia by increasing urinary glucose excretion independent of insulin andmay cause fewer of these adverse effects.We compared the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dap...
