Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study's primary objective was to evaluate adverse outcomes among reproductive-age hospitalizations with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), comparing those that are pregnancy-related versus nonpregnancy-related and evaluating temporal trends. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study using the National Inpatient Sample to identify hospitalizations with DKA among reproductive-age women (15-49 years) in the United States (2016-2020). DKA in pregnancy hospitalizations was compared with DKA in nonpregnant hospitalizations. Adverse outcomes evaluated included mechanical ventilation, coma, seizures, renal failure, prolonged hospital stay, and in-hospital death. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error variance were used to estimate adjusted relative risk (aRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Annual percent change (APC) was used to calculate the change in DKA rate over time. RESULTS Among 35,210,711 hospitalizations of reproductive-age women, 447,600 (1.2%) were hospitalized with DKA, and among them, 13,390 (3%) hospitalizations were pregnancy-related. The rate of nonpregnancy-related DKA hospitalizations increased over time (APC = 3.8%, 95% CI = 1.5-6.1). After multivariable adjustment, compared with pregnancy-related hospitalizations with DKA, the rates of mechanical ventilation (aRR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.18-2.06), seizures (aRR = 2.26, 95% CI = 1.72-2.97), renal failure (aRR = 2.26, 95% CI = 2.05-2.50), coma (aRR = 2.53, 95% CI = 1.68-3.83), and in-hospital death (aRR = 2.38, 95% CI = 1.06-5.36) were higher among nonpregnancy-related hospitalizations with DKA. CONCLUSION A nationally representative sample of hospitalizations indicates that over the 5-year period, the rate of nonpregnancy-related DKA hospitalizations increased among reproductive age women, and a higher risk of adverse outcomes was observed when compared with pregnancy-related DKA hospitalizations. KEY POINTS · Over 5 years, the rate of pregnancy-related DKA hospitalizations was stable.. · Over 5 years, the rate of nonpregnancy-related DKA hospitalizations increased.. · There is a higher risk of adverse outcomes with DKA outside of pregnancy..

The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as an adjunct to insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes assessed by continuous glucose monitoring: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Diabetes Complications 2023; 37:108632. [PMID: 37907042 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2023.108632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Patients undergoing insulin-based therapy for type 1 diabetes often experience poor glycemic control characterized by significant fluctuations. This study was undertaken to analyze the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is), as an adjunct to insulin, on time in range (TIR) and glycemic variability in patients with type 1 diabetes, using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). In addition, we examined which type of SGLT2I yielded a superior effect compared to others. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and clinical trial registry websites, retrieving all eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published up until February 2023. We analyzed the mean TIR, mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE), mean daily glucose (MDG), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), standard deviation (SD), total insulin dose, and severe hypoglycemia to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGLT2Is. A random-effects model was also employed. RESULTS This study encompassed 15 RCTs. The meta-analysis revealed that the use of SGLT2Is as an adjuvant therapy to insulin led to a significant increase in TIR (MD = 10.78, 95%CI = 9.33-12.23, I2 = 42 %, P < 0.00001) and a decrease in SD (MD = -0.38, 95%CI = -0.50 to -0.26, I2 = 0 %, P < 0.00001), MAGE (MD = -0.92, 95%CI = -1.17 to -0.67, I2 = 19 %, P < 0.00001), MDG(MD = -1.01, 95%CI = -1.32 to -0.70, I2 = 48 %, P < 0.00001), and total insulin dose (MD = -5.81, 95%CI = -7.81 to -3.82, I2 = 32 %, P < 0.00001). No significant increase was observed in the rate of severe hypoglycemia (RR = 1.04, 95 % CI = 0.76-1.43, P = 0.80). However, SGLT2I therapy was associated with increased DKA occurrence (RR = 2.79, 95 % CI = 1.42-5.48; P = 0.003, I2 = 16 %). In addition, the subgroup analyses based on the type of SGLT2Is revealed that dapagliflozin might exhibit greater efficacy compared to other SGLT2Is across most outcomes. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2Is exhibited a positive effect on improving blood glucose level fluctuations. Subgroup analysis showed that dapagliflozin appeared to have more advantages. However, giving due consideration to preventing adverse effects, particularly DKA, is paramount. REGISTRATION Prospero CRD42023408276.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is rare in pregnancy, especially in pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance examined in early pregnancy. Once DKA occurs in pregnancy, the disease progresses rapidly and can be life-threatening for both mother and fetus. We concluded three cases of DKA in late pregnancy. The clinical manifestations, progression, and prognosis of the three cases are different, but all of the cases have normal glucose tolerance. We summarized the characteristics of pregnant women with DKA and analyzed and discussed them in conjunction with literature for reference by clinical doctors.

Abstract
Background Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during pregnancy poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus, with an increased risk of fetal demise. Although more prevalent in women with Type I diabetes (T1D); those with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can also develop DKA. A lack of information about DKA during pregnancy exists worldwide, including in South Africa. Objective This study examined the characteristics and outcomes associated with DKA during pregnancy. Methods The study took place between 1 April 2020 and 1 October 2022. Pregnant women with DKA, admitted to Tygerberg Hospital's Obstetric Critical Care Unit (OCCU) were included. Maternal characteristics, precipitants of DKA, adverse events during treatment, and maternal-fetal outcomes were examined. Results There were 54 episodes of DKA among 47 women. Most DKA's were mild and occurred in the third trimester. Pregestational diabetes dominated (31/47; 60%), with 47% having T1D and 94% requiring insulin. Seven women (7/47, 15%; T2D:6, T1D:1) had two episodes of DKA during the same pregnancy. Most women (32/47; 68%) were either overweight or obese. Yet, despite the T2D phenotype, biomarkers indicated that auto-immune diabetes was prevalent among women without any prior history of T1D (6/21; 29%). Twelve women (26%) developed gestational hypertension during pregnancy, and 17 (36%) pre-eclampsia. Precipitating causes of DKA included infection (14/54; 26%), insulin disruption (14/54; 26%) and betamethasone administration (10/54; 19%). More than half of the episodes of DKA involved hypokalemia (35/54, 65%) that was associated with fetal death (P=0.042) and hypoglycemia (28/54, 52%). Preterm birth (<37 weeks' gestation) occurred in 85% of women. No maternal deaths were recorded. A high fetal mortality rate (13/47; 28%) that included 11 spontaneous intrauterine deaths and two medical terminations, was observed. Conclusion Women with DKA have a high risk of fetal mortality as well as undiagnosed auto-immune diabetes. There is a strong link between maternal hypokalemia and fetal loss, suggesting an opportunity to address management gaps in pregnant women with DKA.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute life-threatening emergency in patients with diabetes, it can result in serious morbidity and mortality. Management of DKA requires reversing metabolic derangements, correcting volume depletion, electrolyte imbalances and acidosis while concurrently treating the precipitating illness. There are still controversies regarding certain aspects of DKA management. Different society guidelines have inconsistencies in their recommendations, while some aspects of treatment are not precise enough or have not been thoroughly studied. These controversies may include issues such as optimal fluid resuscitation, rate and type of Insulin therapy, potassium and bicarbonate replacement. Many institutions follow common society guidelines, however, other institutions either develop their own protocols for internal use or do not routinely use any protocols, resulting in inconsistencies in treatment and increased risk of complications and suboptimal outcomes. The objectives of this article are to review knowledge gaps and controversies in the treatment of DKA and provide our perspective on these issues. Moreover, we believe that special patient factors and comorbidities should receive more careful attention and consideration. Factors like pregnancy, renal disease, congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, older age, use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and site of care all impact the treatment approach and require tailored management strategies. However, guidelines often lack sufficient recommendations regarding specific conditions and comorbidities, we aim to address unique circumstances and provide an approach to managing complex patients with specific conditions and co-morbidities. We also sought to examine changes and trends in the treatment of DKA, illuminate on aspects of latest research with a perspective towards future developments and modifications.

Abstract
Background/Objective Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during pregnancy is an obstetric emergency associated with a higher rate of maternofetal morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy itself is a ketosis-prone state and several unique mechanisms predispose to the development of insulin resistance, which can be further exacerbated by acute stressors such as infection. Thus, pregnant patients who additionally contract COVID-19 may be at an even higher risk of development of DKA. Case Report A 32-year-old patient, with no prior history of impaired glucose tolerance, presented at 27 weeks of gestation with a 3-day history of shortness of breath, congestion, loss of taste and smell, polyuria, and polydipsia. Biochemical evaluation was consistent with DKA. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Treatment included intravenous hydration, electrolyte replacement, and insulin infusion. Postpartum phenotypic evaluation confirmed autoimmune diabetes (positive GAD-65 and zinc T8 antibodies) with residual β-cell function. Six months postpartum, glycemic control remains at goal with basal- bolus insulin regimen. Discussion This case describes the peculiar ability of SARS-CoV-2 infection to potentially rouse autoimmunity and how COVID-19 and DKA in pregnancy can be particularly challenging given the risk of significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Conclusion Prompt diagnosis and evaluation of DKA in pregnancy as well as a higher level of suspicion is needed in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Additionally, this case depicts the need for closely monitoring the postpartum period for patients at risk of autoimmune disease, which may have been blunted in pregnancy.

Abstract
The clinical presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) includes nausea, vomiting, thirst, polyuria, polydipsia, abdominal pain, tachypnoea, and change in mental status in cases of severe DKA. DKA is similar in pregnant and non-pregnant women, but in pregnant women it can be seen at lower serum glucose levels and symptoms may develop more rapidly. Most, but not all, cases occur in the second or third trimester.DKA results in reduction in uteroplacental blood flow due to osmotic diuresis, and also in metabolic abnormalities (maternal acidosis, hyperglycaemia, electrolyte imbalance), resulting in fetal hypoxaemia and acidosis. In fetuses with mature cardiac activity, the fetal heart rate may show minimal or absent variability, repetitive deceleration and absence of acceleration. These abnormalities in heart rate usually resolve with resolution of the DKA, which may last for several hours before normalisation.For the patient reported on here, immediate delivery based on pathological fetal heart rate would have resulted in preterm delivery and jeopardised the maternal clinical condition. However, a holistic clinical approach by the multidisciplinary team to management of the patient led to normal term delivery 5 weeks after presentation with DKA; fetal and maternal outcome were good.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are a newly developed class of highly effective antidiabetic therapies that normalize hyperglycemia via urinary glucose excretion. However, they may be accompanied by certain side effects that negatively impact their therapeutic benefits. SGLT2is induce a metabolic shift from glucose to fatty acids and thus increase lipolysis which, in turn, induces ketogenesis. The complete pathways linking SGLT2is to ketoacidosis have not yet been fully elucidated, though much is now known. Therefore, in this mechanistic study, we present the current knowledge and shed light upon the possible cellular pathways involved. A deeper understanding of the possible links between SGLT2is and ketogenesis could help to prevent adverse side effects in diabetic patients treated with these drugs.

Abstract
CONTEXT Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in pregnancy is an obstetric emergency with risk of maternofetal death. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to evaluate DKA events in pregnant women admitted to our inpatient obstetric service, and to examine associated clinical risk factors, presentation, and pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA, and included women aged 17 to 45 years who were treated for DKA during pregnancy between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2021. Main outcome measures included maternal and fetal death along with a broad spectrum of maternal and fetal pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS A total of 71 DKA events were identified in 58 pregnancies among 51 women, 48 (82.8%) of whom had type 1 diabetes. There were no maternal deaths, but fetal demise occurred in 10 (17.2%) pregnancies (6 miscarriages and 4 stillbirths). Maternal social stressors were frequently present (n = 30, 51.0%), and glycemic control was suboptimal (median first trimester glycated hemoglobin A1c = 9.0%). Preeclampsia was diagnosed in 17 (29.3%) pregnancies. Infants born to women with DKA were large for gestational age (n = 16, 33.3%), suffered from neonatal hypoglycemia (n = 29, 60.4%) and required intensive care unit admission (n = 25, 52.1%). CONCLUSION DKA is associated with a high rate of maternofetal morbidity and fetal loss. Prenatal education strategies for women with diabetes mellitus should include a strong focus on DKA prevention, and clinicians and patients should have a high index of suspicion for DKA in all pregnant women who present with symptoms that could be attributed to this condition.

Abstract
Diabetes has been classified mainly into types 1 and 2. Some type 2 diabetes patients, when developing ketosis, have been labeled as having atypical diabetes. Lately, syndromes of ketosis-prone diabetes, primarily in patients who we previously classified as type 2 diabetics, have emerged, and calls are being made to even reclassify diabetes. This mini-review will extensively deal with the historical, molecular, phenotypical, and clinical basis of why ketosis-prone diabetes is different than the traditional principles of type 1 and 2 diabetes and should be classified as such. Clinicians, especially those who are not diabetologists or endocrinologists, as well as hospitalists, intensivists, and primary care providers, will greatly benefit from this review.

Patel K, Nair A. A Literature Review of the Therapeutic Perspectives of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) Inhibitor-Induced Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Cureus 2022; 14:e29652. [PMID: 36320965 PMCID: PMC9611643 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.29652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a side effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, is a triad of high metabolic anion gap acidosis, raised serum and urine ketones, and serum glucose <250 mg/dl. SGLT2 inhibitors cause a carbohydrate deficit by glucosuria, which leads to an increased glucagon/insulin ratio, the metabolic shift from glucose to lipid utilization causing ketogenesis, and hence euglycemic DKA. Additional factors like the ketogenic diet, illness, surgery, and pregnancy contribute to precipitating these episodes. Keywords search included “Euglycemic DKA and SGLT2 inhibitors” in PubMed and Google Scholar, to compile data from existing articles that provide information on the withholding and restarting period of the drug after a euglycemic DKA episode. SGLT2 inhibitors, used in the treatment of type 2 DM, have an average half-life of 11-13 hours, so most articles suggested withholding the drug three days before any elective surgery but some articles suggested a longer withholding period based on other precipitating factors contributing to euglycemic DKA. Hence, we came up with patient inclusion criteria and concomitant therapies review that we need to consider in making this decision. In addition, a multidisciplinary approach is required when laying out guidelines for restarting the drug to have a unanimous approach. After reviewing the existing literature, it is clear that concrete guidelines are required to decide on drug withholding and restarting periods after a euglycemic DKA episode, as they vary among different institutions and different specialties. We believe it is crucial to consider patient inclusion criteria and concomitant therapies in forming those guidelines.
