Abstract
The spectrum of cardiorenal and metabolic diseases comprises many disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure (HF), dyslipidemias, hypertension, and associated comorbidities such as pulmonary diseases and metabolism dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolism dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD and MASH, respectively, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NAFLD and NASH]). Because cardiorenal and metabolic diseases share pathophysiologic pathways, two or more are often present in the same individual. Findings from recent outcome trials have demonstrated benefits of various treatments across a range of conditions, suggesting a need for practice recommendations that will guide clinicians to better manage complex conditions involving diabetes, cardiorenal, and/or metabolic (DCRM) diseases. To meet this need, we formed an international volunteer task force comprising leading cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians to develop the DCRM 2.0 Practice Recommendations, an updated and expanded revision of a previously published multispecialty consensus on the comprehensive management of persons living with DCRM. The recommendations are presented as 22 separate graphics covering the essentials of management to improve general health, control cardiorenal risk factors, and manage cardiorenal and metabolic comorbidities, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite improvements in glucose monitoring technologies, insulin formulations and insulin delivery systems, too many patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) continue to struggle to meet their glycemic goals. As a result, they suffer from high rates of microvascular and macrovascular disease. Titration of insulin therapy, while essential to the care of these patients, is often limited by undesirable side effects of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors have been proposed as a potential adjunctive therapy to insulin that may offset some of these effects, while simultaneously enabling patients with T1D to potentially reap the cardiovascular and renal benefits afforded by these agents in those with type 2 diabetes. This review summarizes and contextualizes the clinical trial data that has emerged with these agents in this specific population. METHODS A clinical review based on current literature was generated by the authors. RESULTS This review summarizes the data from several clinical trial programs investigating the use of SGLT inhibitors in T1D, describing the potential benefits and the ketosis-related adverse events of these agents (including euglycemic DKA), along with a discussion of possible mitigation strategies to reduce this risk. CONCLUSION Although theoretically SGLT inhibitors have the potential to improve metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes in patients with T1D, the risks of diabetic ketoacidosis currently represent an important limitation to the widespread use of these agents. If treatment is undertaken, caution must be taken, with implementation of effective mitigation strategies being essential.

Abstract
An acute metabolic complication of diabetes mellitus, especially type 1, is diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which is due to an increase in blood ketone concentrations. Sodium/glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2-i) drugs have been associated with the occurrence of a particular type of DKA defined as euglycemic (euDKA), characterized by glycemic levels below 300 mg/dL. A fair number of euDKA cases in SGLT2-i-treated patients have been described, especially in the last few years when there has been a significant increased use of these drugs. This form of euDKA is particularly insidious because of its latent onset, associated with unspecific symptomatology, until it evolves (progressing) to severe systemic forms. In addition, its atypical presentation can delay diagnosis and treatment. However, the risk of euDKA associated with SGLT2-i drugs remains relatively low, but it is essential to promptly diagnose and manage it to prevent its serious life-threatening complications. In this narrative review, we intended to gather current research evidence on SGLT2i-associated euDKA from randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence studies, its diagnostic criteria and precipitating factors.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:8087. [PMID: 38582803 PMCID: PMC10998860 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-58853-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024] Open
Abstract
The increasing use of sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) for treating cardiovascular (CV) diseases and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is accompanied by a rise in euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis occurrences in cardiac surgery patients. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery, due to their pre-existing CV disease which often requires SGLT2i prescriptions, face an increased risk of postoperative metabolic acidosis (MA) or ketoacidosis (KA) associated with SGLT2i, compounded by fasting and surgical stress. The primary aim of this study is to quantify the incidence of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA or KA and to identify related risk factors. We analyzed data retrospectively of 823 cardiac surgery patients, including 46 treated with SGLT2i from November 2019 to October 2022. Among 46 final cohorts treated preoperatively with SGLT2i, 29 (63%) developed postoperative metabolic complications. Of these 46 patients, stratified into two categories based on postoperative laboratory findings, risk factor analysis were conducted and compared. Analysis indicated a prescription duration over one week significantly elevated the risk of complications (Unadjusted OR, 11.7; p = 0.032*; Adjusted OR, 31.58; p = 0.014*). A subgroup analysis showed that a cardiopulmonary bypass duration of 60 min or less significantly raises the risk of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA in patients with a sufficient prescription duration. We omitted the term "diabetes" in describing complications related to SGLT2i, as these issues are not exclusive to T2D patients. Awareness of SGLT2i-related postoperative MA or KA can help clinicians distinguish between non-life-threatening conditions and severe causes, thereby preventing unnecessary tests and ensuring best practice.

Abstract
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) though rare is a life-threatening complication of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. With their increasing use in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to long-term beneficial effects, the incidence of this complication is on the rise. We report a case of a 58-year-old lady with a history of T2DM on multiple anti-diabetes medications including dapagliflozin for one year, who during intercurrent illness developed EDKA. Her blood sugar on admission was 203 mg/dL, and arterial blood gas showed high anion-gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) with ketonuria and ketonemia (blood beta-hydroxybutyric (BOHB) acid level: 5.4 mmol/L). Low carbohydrate intake, dehydration resulting from repeated vomiting, and skipping the previous two days' dose of insulin could have precipitated this condition. She was treated with intravenous fluids, insulin, 5% dextrose infusion, and potassium supplements with complete resolution of acidosis after about 90 hours. This case signifies the importance of awareness of the link between the use of SGLT2 inhibitors and EDKA and early recognition of this complication to reduce morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, it also emphasizes the need for clinicians to educate their patients taking these drugs to stop them during the intercurrent illness to prevent them from developing EDKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is frequently encountered in the hospital setting. The recent guidelines for the management of inpatient hyperglycemia have included the use of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors as an alternative to standard insulin therapy in select patients. This raises the question of the inpatient use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which have gained increasing popularity in the outpatient setting because of beneficial cardiovascular and renal outcomes. This article describes the risks associated with the use of SGLT2i for the management of inpatient hyperglycemia. METHODS A literature review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar for studies assessing the inpatient use of SGLT2i. Search terms included "SGLT2 inhibitors," "euglycemic DKA," "inpatient hyperglycemia," "DPP4 inhibitors," "hypovolemia," and "urinary tract infections." Studies not written in English were excluded. Forty-eight articles were included. RESULTS Review of the literature showed significant safety concerns with the use of SGLT2i for the inpatient management of hyperglycemia. Hospitalized patients treated with SGLT2i were at increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis, hypovolemia, and urinary tract infections. When compared head-to-head, SGLT2i were not more effective for inpatient glycemic control than dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors and did not reduce insulin requirements when used in combination with insulin. Although SGLT2i can be considered for the treatment of congestive heart failure, they should be started close to or at the time of discharge. CONCLUSION Although SGLT2i are a preferred pharmacotherapy class for the outpatient management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, there are considerable safety concerns when using them in a hospital setting, and avoidance is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are commonly prescribed anti-diabetic medications with various beneficial effects; however, they have also been associated with ketoacidosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of SGLT2i-associated perioperative ketoacidosis (SAPKA) in surgical patients. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study across 16 centers in Japan, enrolling surgical patients with diabetes who were prescribed SGLT2is between January 2021 and August 2022. Patients were monitored until the third postoperative day to screen for SAPKA, defined as urine ketone positivity with a blood pH of < 7.30 and HCO3 level ≤ 18.0 mEq/L, excluding cases of respiratory acidosis. RESULTS In total, 759 of the 762 evaluated patients were included in the final analysis. Among these, three patients (0.40%) had urine ketones with a blood pH of < 7.30; however, blood gas analysis revealed respiratory acidosis in all three, and none of them was considered to have SAPKA. The estimated incidence of SGLT2i-associated postoperative ketoacidosis was 0% (95% confidence interval, 0%-0.4%). CONCLUSIONS The observed incidence of SAPKA in our general surgical population was lower than expected. However, given that the study was observational in nature, interpretation of study results warrants careful considerations for biases.

Does Treatment with Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors Affect Adherence to International Society Criteria for Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes? A Retrospective Cohort Analysis. J Diabetes Res 2024; 2024:1849522. [PMID: 38516324 PMCID: PMC10957251 DOI: 10.1155/2024/1849522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Design Retrospective observational study. Setting. Inpatients at two teaching hospitals in Queensland, Australia. Primary Outcome Measure(s). The number of patients meeting the Joint British Diabetes Society (JBDS) and American Association of Clinical Endocrinology/American College of Endocrinology (AACE/ACE) diagnostic criteria for DKA. Patients were divided into two groups by treatment with SGLT2i at the time of diagnosis. Participants. Adult patients (>18 years old) with type 2 diabetes diagnosed with DKA from April 2015 to January 2022. Patients without type 2 diabetes were excluded. Results One hundred and sixty-five patients were included in this study-comprising 94 patients in the SGLT2i cohort and 70 in the non-SGLT2i cohort. A significantly smaller proportion of patients in the SGLT2i vs. non-SGLT2i cohorts met both JBDS (56% vs. 72%, p = 0.035) and AACE/ACE (63% vs. 82%, p = 0.009) criteria for diagnosis of DKA. Conclusion Patients with type 2 diabetes treated with SGLT2i may be more likely to be diagnosed with DKA despite not meeting the criteria. Despite recent adjustments to account the physiological effects of SGLT2i, significant variation in criteria between major society guidelines presents ongoing challenges to clinicians. The proportion of patients diagnosed using both JDBS and AACE/ACE were comparable, suggesting a reasonable degree of agreement.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in the treatment of hyperglycemia in cardiac surgery patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Cardiac surgery patients with T2D (n = 250) were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive dapagliflozin plus basal-bolus insulin (DAPA group) or basal-bolus insulin alone (INSULIN group) in the early postoperative period. The primary outcome was mean difference in daily blood glucose (BG) concentrations between groups. The major safety outcomes were the occurrence of severe ketonemia/diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hypoglycemia. All analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 61 years (range, 55-61), and 219 (87.6%) were men. Overall, the randomization blood glucose was 165 mg/dL (SD, 37) and glycated hemoglobin was 7.7% (SD, 1.4). There were no differences in mean daily BG concentrations (149 vs. 150 mg/dL), mean percentage of readings within target BG of 70-180 mg/dL (82.7% vs. 82.5%), total daily insulin dose (mean, 39 vs. 40 units/day), number of daily insulin injections (median, 3.9 vs. 4), length of hospital stay (median, 10 vs. 10 days), or hospital complications (21.6% vs. 24.8%) between the DAPA and INSULIN groups. The mean plasma ketone levels were significantly higher in the DAPA group than in the INSULIN group at day 3 (0.71 vs. 0.30 mmol/L) and day 5 (0.42 vs. 0.19 mmol/L) of randomization. Six patients in the DAPA group developed severe ketonemia, but no patient developed DKA. There were no differences in the proportion of patients with BG < 70 mg/dL (9.6% vs. 7.2%) between the two groups. CONCLUSION Dapagliflozin complementary to basal-bolus insulin does not improve glycemia further over and above the basal-bolus insulin alone in hospitalized cardiac surgery patients. Dapagliflozin significantly increases plasma ketones levels. Safety of dapagliflozin in hospitalized patients needs further investigation. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05457933.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are commonly prescribed to manage patients with diabetes mellitus. These agents may rarely lead to the development of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA), which may complicate the disease course of these patients. AIM To analyze the demographic profile, predisposing factors, symptomology, clinical interventions and outcomes of patients presenting with EDKA secondary to SGLT2i use by reviewing the published case reports and series. METHODS We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Reference Citation Analysis databases using the terms "canagliflozin" OR "empagliflozin" OR "dapagliflozin" OR "SGLT2 inhibitors" OR "Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2" AND "euglycemia" OR "euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis" OR "metabolic acidosis". The inclusion criteria were: (1) Case reports or case series with individual patient details; and (2) Reported EDKA secondary to SGLT2i. Furthermore, the data were filtered from the literature published in the English language and on adults (> 18 years). We excluded: (1) Conference abstracts; and (2) Case reports or series which did not have individual biochemical data. All the case reports and case series were evaluated. The data extracted included patient demographics, clinical symptomatology, clinical interventions, intensive care unit course, need for organ support and outcomes. RESULTS Overall, 108 case reports and 17 cases series with 169 unique patients that met all the inclusion criteria were included. The majority of patients were females (54.4%, n = 92), and the commonly reported symptoms were gastrointestinal (nausea/vomiting 65.1%, abdominal pain 37.3%) and respiratory (breathlessness 30.8%). One hundred and forty-nine (88.2%) patients had underlying type II diabetes, and the most commonly involved SGLT-2 inhibitor reported was empagliflozin (46.8%). A triggering factor was reported in most patients (78.7%), the commonest being acute severe infection (37.9%), which included patients with sepsis, coronavirus disease 2019, other viral illnesses, and acute pancreatitis. 61.5% were reported to require intensive unit care, but only a minority of patients required organ support in the form of invasive mechanical ventilation (13%), vasopressors (6.5%) or renal replacement therapy (5.9%). The overall mortality rate was only 2.4%. CONCLUSION Patients on SGLT2i may rarely develop EDKA, especially in the presence of certain predisposing factors, including severe acute infections and following major surgery. The signs and symptoms of EDKA may be similar to that of DKA but with normal blood sugar levels, which may make the diagnosis challenging. Outcomes of EDKA are good if recognized early and corrective actions are taken. Hence, physicians managing such patients must be aware of this potential complication and must educate their patients accordingly to ensure early diagnosis and management.

Abstract
Bariatric/metabolic surgery and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are becoming increasingly popular for the management of overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Consequently, the chance that a patient undergoing bariatric/metabolic surgery is also treated with an SGLT2i would be rather common in clinical practice. Both risks and benefits have been reported. On the one hand, several cases of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis have been reported within the few days/weeks after bariatric/metabolic surgery. The causes are diverse but a drastic reduction in caloric (carbohydrate) intake most probably plays a crucial role. Thus, SGLT2is should be stopped a few days (and even more if a pre-operative restricted diet is prescribed to reduce liver volume) before the intervention and reintroduced only when the caloric (carbohydrate) intake is sufficient. On the other hand, SGLT2is may exert a favorable effect to reduce the risk of postprandial hypoglycemia, a complication reported among patients who have been treated with bariatric/metabolic surgery. An increased hepatic glucose production and a reduced production of interleukin-1β have been proposed as possible underlying mechanisms for this protective effect. Finally, whether SGLT2is could prolong diabetes remission following surgery and improve the prognosis of patients with T2DM who benefit from bariatric/metabolic surgery remains to be investigated.

Risk of diabetic ketoacidosis of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1145587.

Abstract
Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have proven to be effective in improving glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to conduct this systematic review and network meta-analysis for the risk of DKA of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM. Methods: We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM in PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid SP), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Ovid SP), and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to January 2022. The primary outcomes were the risk of DKA. We assessed the sparse network with a fixed-effect model and consistency model in a frequentist framework with a graph-theoretical method by the netmeta package in R. We assessed the evidence quality of evidence of outcomes according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Results: In total, 36 studies involving 52,264 patients were included. The network showed that there was no significant difference observed among SGLT2 inhibitors, other active antidiabetic drugs, and placebo in the risk of DKA. There was no significant difference in the DKA risk between different doses of SGLT2 inhibitors. The certainty of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate. The probabilities of rankings and P-score showed that compared to placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors might increase the risk of DKA (P-score = 0.5298). Canagliflozin might have a higher DKA risk than other SGLT2 inhibitors (P-score = 0.7388). Conclusion: Neither SGLT2 inhibitors nor other active antidiabetic drugs were associated with an increased risk of DKA compared to placebo, and the risk of DKA with SGLT2 inhibitors was not found to be dose-dependent. In addition, the use of canagliflozin was less advisable than other SGLT2 inhibitors according to the rankings and P-score.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use and complications (euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis [eDKA] rate, mortality, infection, hospital, and cardiovascular intensive care unit [CVICU] length of stay [LOS]) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING At an academic university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS SGLT2i use versus no SGLT2i use. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The authors evaluated patients undergoing cardiac surgery within 24 hours of hospital admission (between February 2, 2019 to May 26, 2022) for SGLT2i prevalence and eDKA frequency. The outcomes were compared using Wilcoxon rank sum and chi-square testing as appropriate. The cohort included 1,654 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, of whom 53 (3.2%) were prescribed an SGLT2i before surgery; 8 (15.1%) of 53 had eDKA. The authors found no differences between patients with and without SGLT2i use in hospital LOS (median [IQR]: 4.5 [3.5-6.3] v 4.4 [3.4-5.6] days, p = 0.46) or CVICU LOS (median [IQR]: 1.2 [1.0-2.2] v 1.1 [1.0-1.9] days, p = 0.22), 30-day mortality (1.9% v 0.7%, p = 0.31), or sternal infections (0.0% v 0.3%, p = 0.69). Among patients prescribed an SGLT2i, those with and without eDKA had similar hospital LOS (5.1 [4.0-5.8] v 4.4 [3.4-6.3], p = 0.76); however, CVICU LOS was longer in patients with eDKA (2.2 [1.5-2.9] v 1.2 [0.9-2.0], p = 0.042). Mortality (0.0% v 2.2%, p = 0.67) and wound infections (0.0% v 0.0%, p > 0.99) were similarly rare. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative eDKA occurred in 15% of patients on an SGLT2i prior to cardiac surgery, and was associated with longer CVICU LOS. Future studies into SGLT2i management perioperatively are important.

Abstract
Perioperative dysglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes in both cardiac and non-cardiac surgical patients. Hyperglycemia in the perioperative period is associated with an increased risk of postoperative infections, length of stay, and mortality. Hypoglycemia can induce neuronal damage, leading to significant cognitive deficits, as well as death. This review endeavors to summarize existing literature on perioperative dysglycemia and provides updates on pharmacotherapy and management of perioperative hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in surgical patients.

Abstract
Postoperative euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA), a rare cause of acidosis, results from the metabolic derangement of diabetes and is not associated with a surgical complication requiring reoperation. Our acute care surgery service has managed several recent patients who developed postoperative EDKA. Our group was befuddled by the initial case but subsequently quickly recognized and managed the condition. The purpose of this report is to discuss the pathophysiology of EDKA, summarize 3 recent cases, and increase awareness about the condition to permit prompt recognition and treatment.

Abstract
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. This article describes a case of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with coronary artery disease who was taking a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor and experienced acute mental status changes immediately after heart catheterization.

Abstract
Background Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use is associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Objective This study evaluated and compared the DKA characteristics and outcomes of users and non-users of SGLT2i. Methods We retrospectively studied patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted with DKA to Tawam Hospital, Al Ain City, UAE between January 2017 and March 2021. Demographic data, clinical, and laboratory findings were extracted from the electronic medical records. Results A total of 55 patients with T2DM (62% UAE nationals, 50% women) were admitted with DKA. The average age was 54.0 ± 18.9 years and average diabetes duration of 15.7 ± 15.1 years. Seventeen patients (31%) were using SGLT2i. Infection was the main precipitating factor for DKA in (8 out of 17) SGLT2i users. Compared to non-users, SGLT2i users had lower systolic blood pressure (119.9 vs 140 mmHg; P = .012) and serum glucose levels (16.2 vs 24.9 mmol/L; P < .001) and higher Na level (137.5 vs 132.6 mmol/L; P = .005). Additionally, 56.3% of SGLT2i users had euglycemic DKA compared to 2.6% of nonusers (P < .001). Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred more in SGLT2i users compared to non-users (94.1% vs 67.6%, P = .043). Further analysis revealed that SGLT2i users were about five times more likely to have prolonged hospital length of stay (⩾14 days) when compared with non-users (adjusted OR: 4.84; P = .035). Overall, there was no difference between the two groups with regards to DKA complications and mortality. Conclusions SGLT2i related DKA is associated with lower blood glucose levels, lower SBP, worse hypovolemia, increased risk of AKI, and longer hospital stay when compared to non SGLT2i related episodes. Since the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors far outweigh potential risks, there is a need to raise healthcare professionals and patients' awareness about this potential association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is traditionally managed using intravenous regular insulin infusion (RII) in intensive care unit (ICU)/high dependency unit (HDU). Subcutaneous fast-acting insulin analogues (FAIAs) may help to manage DKA outside ICU/HDU. Furthermore, combining subcutaneous long-acting insulin (LAI) with subcutaneous FAIAs may accelerate ketoacidosis resolution. The latest (2016) Cochrane review was inconclusive regarding subcutaneous FAIAs versus intravenous RII in DKA. It was limited by small sample sizes, unclear risk of bias (RoB) in primary trials and did not examine subcutaneous FAIAs with subcutaneous LAI versus intravenous RII in DKA. We report the protocol for an updated meta-analysis on the safety and benefits of subcutaneous FAIAs with/without subcutaneous LAI versus intravenous RII in DKA. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search Medline, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Library, from inception until December 2022, without language restrictions, for randomised trials on subcutaneous FAIAs with/without subcutaneous LAI versus intravenous RII in DKA. We also search ClinicalTrials.gov, ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu and reference lists of included trials. Primary outcomes include all-cause in-hospital mortality, time to DKA resolution, in-hospital DKA recurrence and hospital readmission for DKA post-discharge. Secondary outcomes include resource utilisation and patient satisfaction. Safety outcomes include important complications of DKA and insulin. Reviewers will extract data, assess overall RoB and quality of evidence using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation. We will assess statistical heterogeneity by visually inspecting forest plots and the I2 statistic. We will synthesise data using the random-effects model. Predefined subgroup analyses are: mild versus moderate versus severe DKA; age <20 vs ≥20 years; pregnant versus non-pregnant; infective versus non-infective DKA precipitating cause; subcutaneous FAIAs alone versus subcutaneous FAIAs and subcutaneous LAI; and high versus low overall RoB. We will also perform trial sequential analysis for primary outcomes. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics board approval is not required. Results will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022369518.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a type of diabetes mellitus showing overlapping characteristics between type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), and autoimmunity against insulin-producing pancreatic cells. For its diagnosis, at least one type of anti-pancreatic islet antibody (GADAb is the most common) is required. Many authors recommend performing this measure in all newly diagnosed patients with DM, but it is not possible in Primary Health Care (PHC) due to its high cost. Currently, a relevant proportion of patients diagnosed as T2DM could be LADA. Confusing LADA with T2DM has clinical and safety implications, given its different therapeutic approach. The main objective of the study is to develop and validate a clinical score for identifying adult patients with DM at high risk of LADA in PHC. METHODS This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out in Primary Care Health Centers with a centralized laboratory. All people over 30 years of age diagnosed with diabetes within a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 4 years before the start of the study will be recruited. Individuals will be recruited by consecutive sampling. The study variables will be obtained through clinical interviews, physical examinations, and electronic medical records. The following variables will be recorded: those related to Diabetes Mellitus, sociodemographic, anthropometric, lifestyle habits, laboratory parameters, presence of comorbidities, additional treatments, personal or family autoimmune disorders, self-perceived health status, Fourlanos criteria, and LADA diagnosis (as main variable) according to current criteria. DISCUSSION The study will provide an effective method for identifying patients at increased risk of LADA and, therefore, candidates for antibody testing. However, a slight participation bias is to be expected. Differences between participants and non-participants will be studied to quantify this potential bias.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of dapagliflozin-associated diabetic ketosis/ketoacidosis (DK/DKA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A case-control study was conducted in a general hospital in China from 2018 to 2021. T2DM patients who developed DK/DKA after dapagliflozin treatment were identified. Each patient in the DA/DKA group was matched with a patient in the non-DK/DKA group in terms of the baseline characteristics. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and logistic regressions were performed. RESULTS Out of 1,684 hospitalized patients taking dapagliflozin, 170 were diagnosed with dapagliflozin-associated DK/DKA. A total of 137 cases were matched with 137 controls. The mean time-to-onset (TTO) of DK/DKA was 28.59 days. Logistic regression showed that current drinking (OR = 7.656, p < 0.001), T2DM duration ≥ 7.625 years (OR = 2.399, p = 0.017), acute ST-elevations myocardial infarction (STEMI) (OR = 12.770, p = 0.028), acute infection (OR = 2.862, p = 0.043), insulin dose reduction/cessation before dapagliflozin exposure (OR = 6.751, p < 0.001), and a major plus or major operation (OR = 2.652, p = 0.022) were risk factors for dapagliflozin-associated DK/DKA. Furthermore, T2DM duration ≥ 7.625 years (p = 0.046) and acute STEMI (p < 0.001) were independently associated with more severe DK/DKA. CONCLUSION Current drinking, long T2DM duration, STEMI, acute infection, insulin deficiency, and major operation are the risk factors associated with DK/DKA in T2DM patients. Furthermore, long T2DM duration and STEMI were associated with more severe DK/DKA situations.

Abstract
The exponentially growing frequency of diagnosing diabetes mellitus means that a verification of the previous dietetic approach to treating the disease seems justified. The simultaneous growth of interest in the ketogenic diet and the development of knowledge in this field have contributed to the increasingly frequent application of the ketogenic diet in diabetes treatment. This paper also deals with that issue; its aim includes an extensive analysis of the influence of the ketogenic diet on the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetes. The paper has been prepared based on a wide, meticulous analysis of the available literature on the subject. Among other findings, a favorable effect of that nutrition model has been demonstrated on the values of glycated hemoglobin, glucose, insulin, or other metabolic parameters in diabetes patients. The effect of the ketogenic diet on the pharmacotherapy of type 1 and type 2 diabetes has been presented and compared with the standard nutritional management plan recommended for that disease. Further research is needed in this field, especially studies with a long follow-up period. The discussed articles report interesting therapeutic advantages to the ketogenic diet in comparison with standard diets.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of medications used by individuals with type 2 diabetes that reduce hyperglycaemia by targeting glucose transport in the kidney, preventing its reabsorption, thereby inducing glucosuria. Besides improving HbA1c and reducing body weight and blood pressure, the SGLT2 inhibitors have also been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, an effect largely independent of their effect on blood glucose levels. Indeed, the mechanisms underlying these benefits remain elusive. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors has been found to modestly increase systemic ketone levels. Ketone bodies are an ancillary fuel source substituting for glucose in some tissues and may also possess intrinsic anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Some have proposed that ketones may in fact mediate the cardio-renal benefits of this drug category. However, a rare complication of SGLT2 inhibition is ketoacidosis, sometimes with normal or near-normal blood glucose concentrations, albeit occurring more frequently in patients with type 1 diabetes who are treated (predominately off-label) with one of these agents. We herein explore the notion that an underpinning of one of the more serious adverse effects of SGLT2 inhibitors may, in fact, explain, at least in part, some of their benefits-a potential 'double-edged sword' of this novel drug category.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are glucose-lowering agents being increasingly used for cardio-renal protection in patients with or without type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This systematic review identified the clinical risk factors and outcomes of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients undergoing bariatric and metabolic surgery (BMS) on SGLT2i. We found 12 studies with a total of 16 patients (10 females; mean age of 51 years). Apart from one patient, all patients developed DKA in the post-operative period presenting at a median of 5 days after surgery. Most of the patients were euglycaemic on presentation with DKA. Patients undergoing BMS on SGLT2i are at increased risk of developing DKA that can mimic post-operative surgical complications causing diagnostic dilemmas, especially with the euglycaemic variant, and delaying treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to assess the bolus-infusion to the sliding scale of insulin approaches, regarding percentage of the operative time with the target capillary blood glucose (CBG) range, total insulin units given to the patients, development of hypoglycemia, and the peri-operative changes in serum potassium (s.k) in elective laparotomy surgeries. Sixty patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II, were randomly divided to either the bolus-insulin infusion (BII) group, or the sliding scale of insulin (SSI) group.
Results
The intra-operative target CBG range was achieved in both groups, with no statistically significant difference between them. However, in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU), the number of patients who achieved the target CBG range was significantly more in the BII group. The decrease in the CBG was statistically significant in the SSI group than in the BII group; starting from 30 minutes after the initial intra-venous (IV) insulin injected, to 240 minutes intra-operatively and in the PACU. No patient in either groups developed hypoglycemia. The mean intra-operative time needed to achieve the target CBG range was statistically significant less in the SSI group. The mean percentage of the operative time with the target CBG range was statistically non-significant higher in the SSI group. The mean total insulin units given were statistically non-significant higher in the SSI group. The peri-operative changes in s.k were statistically non-significant between the two groups.
Conclusions
The BII approach slowly achieved the target CBG range intra-operatively and maintained this target in the PACU, with mean 54.6 ± 28.9% operative time with the target CBG range, and with less mean total insulin units needed than the SSI approach.

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor-associated Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Lessons From a Case Series of 4 Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery. Can J Diabetes 2022; 46:843-850. [PMID: 36068154 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2022.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening adverse condition associated with use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). This risk is further pronounced in the perioperative period. There is no consensus for when SGLT2i should be held preoperatively, and recommendations from various organizations have evolved from 1 day to 3 to 4 days in the latest American Diabetes Association guidelines. Further study of patients with perioperative euglycemic DKA is required to help clarify the optimal timing of preoperative discontinuation of SGLT2i agents. METHODS In this retrospective, single-centre case series we examined 4 patients who developed postoperative euglycemic DKA after coronary artery bypass grafting, 3 of whom underwent semiurgent surgery. We characterized their clinical course, predisposing factors and treatment characteristics. RESULTS The SGLT2i were held for 1 to 5 days preoperatively, with times since last dose before surgery being 54, 79, 80 and 151 hours. Surgery was semiurgent for 3 patients, and elective for 1 patient. Three patients were diagnosed with euglycemic DKA within 24 hours after surgery. The fourth patient developed euglycemic DKA on postoperative day 3 in the context of significant hypovolemia and exhibited potential signs of protracted SGLT2i action at 7 days since the last dose. CONCLUSIONS The duration of SGLT2i action and risk for DKA is variable and complex. Providers should hold SGLT2i at least 3 days before elective major surgery, with potentially longer times in high-risk patients. Careful vigilance should be used for perioperative DKA development in all patients recently exposed to SGLT2i.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most serious acute complications of diabetes. Its defining features are hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. Euglycemic DKA (EDKA) affects patients whose serum glucose levels are within the normal range. The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is one of the newly identified risks for this condition. Case presentation A 75-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to our emergency department with decreased consciousness and decreased oral intake for two days. She had been diagnosed with a cerebrovascular accident for 12 days, and empagliflozin was added to her medications. Laboratory evaluation revealed metabolic acidosis, despite a minimally elevated serum glucose concentration. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with EDKA secondary to empagliflozin and treated with intravenous rehydration therapy and intravenous insulin infusion. Conclusions Empagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) is a new anti-hyperglycemic medication that is associated with an increased risk of DKA. Several patients present with normal or minimally elevated serum glucose concentration, which frequently leads to a delay in diagnosis. EDKA should be considered when evaluating a patient with unexplained metabolic acidosis while taking an SGLT2 inhibitor, and SGLT2 inhibitors should be discontinued if acidosis is confirmed.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase in many Asian countries, with possible contributing factors, such as younger-onset disease, diabetes development at lower body mass index, higher visceral fat accumulation and poorer β-cell function, among Asian populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to confer favorable effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, such as improved glycemic control, weight and blood pressure reduction, and importantly, cardiorenal benefits. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are generally well-tolerated, and have a well-defined safety profile based on evidence from numerous clinical trials and post-marketing pharmacovigilance reporting. To our knowledge, this review is the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the adverse events of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, as well as their management and counseling aspects for Asian type 2 diabetes mellitus populations.

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.

Abstract
Empagliflozin-induced euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by metabolic acidosis, ketonemia, and relatively normal serum glucose levels. We present a rare case of empagliflozin-induced diabetic ketoacidosis obscured by alkalosis. This case report aims to create awareness among clinicians about this entity and consider this diagnosis in their differential, especially in patients taking sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT-2) inhibitors who present to the hospital with unspecific symptoms that may not suggest DKA.

Abstract
AIMS Long-term clinical trials evaluating the effects of metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) demonstrate that a significant proportion of patients either fail to achieve remission or experience T2D recurrence over time. Furthermore, patients with recurrent T2D might require reinstitution of pharmacotherapy to control comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia). This paper reviews therapeutic options in patients with T2D relapse. DATA SYNTHESIS Although presently there is no recommended pharmacological strategy, the available data support GLP-1 analogues (GLP-1a) as the most suitable option to control hyperglycemia post-MBS. Beside their efficacy in lowering glycemia and body weight while preserving lean mass, GLP-1a exert cardiovascular/renal-protection and are also safe and well tolerated in surgical patients. In addition, the s.c. route of administration of these medications circumvents the problem of changes in oral drugs bioavailability following MBS. Of note, the available data refers to liraglutide and needs to be confirmed with weekly GLP-1a agents. Information regarding the impact of MBS on the pharmacokinetics of lipid lowering and anti-hypertensive drugs is scarce and inconclusive. The findings indicate that timing from intervention is particularly important because of adaptive intestinal mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS The recurrence of T2D following MBS is a clinically relevant issue. GLP-1a therapy represents the best option to improve glycemic and weight control with good tolerability. Long-term clinical trials will clarify the impact of these drugs on cardiovascular outcomes. A close monitoring of MBS patients is advised to guide drug dosage adjustments and ensure the control of cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
In addition to showing antidiabetic effects, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors also reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In major trials of cardiovascular outcomes, SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes, including reduced rehospitalization in patients with heart failure, regardless of the presence of diabetes. A recent report showed that the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in terms of cardiovascular deaths/admissions caused by heart failure and reduced ejection fraction were greater in Asians than in Whites. In this review, the first part demonstrates the results of recent clinical trials and their clinical implications and outlines current trials and upcoming research areas. The second part provides a general overview of the current understanding of the mechanisms of the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors. Type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure are closely related. SGLT2 inhibitors can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and heart failure. SGLT2 inhibitors can improve hemodynamics, myocardial energy supply, and sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve activities.

Abstract
Background Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a potentially life-threatening condition and a reported side effect of antidiabetic sodium-glucose-cotransporter-2-inhibitors (SGLT2-I). The analysis of the herein presented case and its management formed the incentive to prepare this multidisciplinary work and includes an overview about perioperative SGLT2-I-induced ketoacidosis. Method A PubMed search on relevant entries was conducted combining the terms “euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis” AND “surgery.” Results A total of 33 articles on SGLT2-I-induced ketoacidosis in the context of surgical treatment were identified. According to this literature research risk factors for the development are infection, perioperative fasting, surgical stress, and insulin dose reduction. Conclusion Unspecific symptoms mimicking acute abdomen and normoglycemia can lead to delayed diagnosis of EDKA and might harm patients under SGLT2-I therapy in the perioperative setting. SGLT2-I medication should be withheld for at least 24–48 h prior to surgery according to this review of literature and restarted only in stable clinical conditions to avoid the severe complication of EDKA.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and heart failure (HF)-along with their associated risk factors-have overlapping etiologies, and two or more of these conditions frequently occur in the same patient. Many recent cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have demonstrated the benefits of agents originally developed to control T2D, ASCVD, or CKD risk factors, and these agents have transcended their primary indications to confer benefits across a range of conditions. This evolution in CVOT evidence calls for practice recommendations that are not constrained by a single discipline to help clinicians manage patients with complex conditions involving diabetes, cardiorenal, and/or metabolic (DCRM) diseases. The ultimate goal for these recommendations is to be comprehensive yet succinct and easy to follow by the nonexpert-whether a specialist or a primary care clinician. To meet this need, we formed a volunteer task force comprising leading cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians to develop the DCRM Practice Recommendations, a multispecialty consensus on the comprehensive management of the patient with complicated metabolic disease. The task force recommendations are based on strong evidence and incorporate practical guidance that is clinically relevant and simple to implement, with the aim of improving outcomes in patients with DCRM. The recommendations are presented as 18 separate graphics covering lifestyle therapy, patient self-management education, technology for DCRM management, prediabetes, cognitive dysfunction, vaccinations, clinical tests, lipids, hypertension, anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy, antihyperglycemic therapy, hypoglycemia, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), ASCVD, HF, CKD, and comorbid HF and CKD, as well as a graphical summary of medications used for DCRM.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a well-known, serious complication that many patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes face due to either a relative or absolute insulin deficiency. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors have gained increased popularity due to their diabetic, cardiovascular, and renal benefits. An associated complication of SGLT2 inhibitors is euglycemic DKA. A 56-year-old male with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy presented with right foot pain secondary to a diabetic foot ulcer. The ulcer was present for one year, but the patient noticed increased pain and purulent discharge over the three days prior to presentation. While being treated inpatient for the foot ulcers, the patient repeatedly refused to receive standard hospital diabetes management of insulin injections. He instead insisted to take his home medications against medical advice, which were metformin and Glyxambi® (empagliflozin/linagliptin, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany). His diabetic foot ulcer was medically managed with IV antibiotics. On day 4 of admission, his anion gap increased to 23 mEq/L, and serum bicarbonate (CO2) decreased to 8 mEq/L, raising concerns of diabetic ketoacidosis. His glucose was 141 mg/dL, his beta-hydroxybutyrate was high at 5.5 mmol/L. An arterial blood gas (ABG) test demonstrated anion gap metabolic acidosis with secondary respiratory alkalosis. A urinalysis demonstrated glucose 1000 mg/dL and ketones of 150 mg/dL. The patient was diagnosed with euglycemic DKA. Due to the patient having normal glucose levels, an insulin drip and a 5% dextrose with 0.45% normal saline drip were started. Basic metabolic profiles were ordered every four hours, with glucose checks every hour. Once the anion gap was closed and his urinary ketones disappeared, the patient transitioned to subcutaneous insulin. He was able to be discharged home with basal subcutaneous insulin and metformin with instructions to avoid SGLT2 inhibitors in the future. Unfortunately, there are currently no guidelines from endocrinology or internal medicine societies regarding the management of euglycemic DKA. As the typical DKA diagnostic criteria of elevated blood glucose level are not present, it is easy to overlook euglycemic DKA. As these SGLT2 inhibitors become more prevalent, careful monitoring of all potential side effects as well as the contraindications are prudent to successful management of complex disease states.

Abstract
Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (painful-DPN) is a highly prevalent and disabling condition, affecting up to one-third of patients with diabetes. This condition can have a profound impact resulting in a poor quality of life, disruption of employment, impaired sleep, and poor mental health with an excess of depression and anxiety. The management of painful-DPN poses a great challenge. Unfortunately, currently there are no Food and Drug Administration (USA) approved disease-modifying treatments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) as trials of putative pathogenetic treatments have failed at phase 3 clinical trial stage. Therefore, the focus of managing painful- DPN other than improving glycaemic control and cardiovascular risk factor modification is treating symptoms. The recommended treatments based on expert international consensus for painful- DPN have remained essentially unchanged for the last decade. Both the serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SNRI) duloxetine and α2δ ligand pregabalin have the most robust evidence for treating painful-DPN. The weak opioids (e.g. tapentadol and tramadol, both of which have an SNRI effect), tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and α2δ ligand gabapentin are also widely recommended and prescribed agents. Opioids (except tramadol and tapentadol), should be prescribed with caution in view of the lack of definitive data surrounding efficacy, concerns surrounding addiction and adverse events. Recently, emerging therapies have gained local licenses, including the α2δ ligand mirogabalin (Japan) and the high dose 8% capsaicin patch (FDA and Europe). The management of refractory painful-DPN is difficult; specialist pain services may offer off-label therapies (e.g. botulinum toxin, intravenous lidocaine and spinal cord stimulation), although there is limited clinical trial evidence supporting their use. Additionally, despite combination therapy being commonly used clinically, there is little evidence supporting this practise. There is a need for further clinical trials to assess novel therapeutic agents, optimal combination therapy and existing agents to determine which are the most effective for the treatment of painful-DPN. This article reviews the evidence for the treatment of painful-DPN, including emerging treatment strategies such as novel compounds and stratification of patients according to individual characteristics (e.g. pain phenotype, neuroimaging and genotype) to improve treatment responses.
