Risk of diabetic ketoacidosis caused by sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in patients with type 1 diabetes: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized cont... by Ying Liu, Shiwen Yang, Aidou Jiang, Dan Zou, Zhaoyang Chen, Na Su, Na Su

“…Treatment with 300 mg canagliflozin had the lowest incidence of DKA (P score = 0.8563).ConclusionAccording to our study, 5 mg dapagliflozin,10 mg empagliflozin 200mg sogliflozin and 400mg sogliflozin resulted in DKA when adjunctive insulin was used to treat T1DM. Other SGLT2 inhibitors seem to be safe. However, SGLT2 inhibitors for treating T1DM are off label in China, and adverse reactions should be closely monitored during administration.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#loginpage, identifier CRD42023416227.…”
