Will you make it through?

Endocrinology

A 56-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes on dapagliflozin and metformin presents with 48 hours of vomiting and polyuria. Glucose is 9.8 mmol/L, ketones 4.2 mmol/L, pH 7.18, bicarbonate 12 mmol/L, anion gap 22. What is the most likely diagnosis?

CORRECT

This is euglycaemic DKA — anion-gap acidosis with ketosis in a patient on an SGLT2 inhibitor. SGLT2 inhibitors lower blood glucose by dumping it into the urine, masking the hyperglycaemia of DKA without preventing the underlying insulin deficiency that drives ketogenesis. HHS would show glucose >30 mmol/L with minimal ketones; metformin-induced lactic acidosis would have raised lactate rather than ketones as the gap-driver.

High yield fact Patients on SGLT2 inhibitors (dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, canagliflozin) can develop DKA at glucose under 14 mmol/L. Suspect eDKA in any acutely unwell patient on these drugs and check ketones regardless of glucose.
