Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic emergency traditionally associated with Type 1 diabetes but is increasingly recognized in Type 2 diabetes, particularly with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. Euglycemic DKA, characterized by near-normal blood glucose levels, is a distinct variant that has gained attention. This case report highlights a unique presentation of euglycemic DKA in a 56-year-old female with a past medical history of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who presented to the emergency department with a one-week history of chest pain.
糖尿病酮症酸中毒(DKA)是一种危及生命的代谢急症,传统上与1型糖尿病相关,但在2型糖尿病中越来越多地被认识到,尤其是在使用钠-葡萄糖协同转运蛋白2(SGLT-2)抑制剂的情况下。血糖正常的DKA以血糖水平接近正常为特征,是一种已受到关注的独特变体。本病例报告强调了一名56岁女性出现血糖正常的DKA的独特表现,该女性有2型糖尿病病史,因胸痛一周就诊于急诊科。
