Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are now considered second-line treatment agents for type 2 diabetes and offer a unique treatment approach with added cardiorenal benefits. Drugs in this class increase the risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, which may be difficult to diagnose if clinicians are not aware of the risk factors and subtle symptoms.
