Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, integral in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, are not without risks, with reported adverse effects including euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA). We present a case of a 75-year-old female with T2DM on canagliflozin, who developed altered mental status (AMS), nausea, vomiting, and hypotension. The laboratory results revealed ketoacidosis, elevated troponins, and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC), prompting the cessation of canagliflozin.

Objectives: Patients with type 2 diabetes nowadays have a wide range of new antidiabetic medications with better efficacy and safety. Physicians' attitude toward selecting antidiabetic medications to reach targeted glycemic control and better quality of life (QOL) has not been studied prospectively. The global DISCOVER study aims to comprehensively provide a real-world assessment of the treatment pattern changes for patients with type 2 diabetes, in addition to QOL assessment.

Summary: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) induce osmotic diuresis by inhibiting the proximal renal tubular reabsorption of the filtered glucose load, which in turn can occasionally lead to severe dehydration and hypotension amidst other adverse effects. We present a case of a 49-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) on canagliflozin, a SGLT2i. The patient was brought to the emergency room following a motor vehicle accident.
