Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were FDA approved in 2013 as an adjunct to glucophage for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). They are commonly utilized in patients with obesity because they also lower blood pressure, have weight loss benefits and cardiovascular disease benefits. Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a known adverse effect of this medication, and decreased intake after bariatric surgery (BS) increases that risk. We describe two cases of patients who stopped their SGLT2i as instructed prior to BS and developed severe EDKA requiring hospitalization. …
