SGLT Inhibitors Protect the Heart and Kidneys: Why Is Type 1 Diabetes Still the Exception?

SGLT inhibitor medication with glucose monitoring supplies and heart and kidney imagery representing potential cardiorenal benefits in type 1 diabetes.

SGLT inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for cardiovascular and kidney disease, particularly in people with type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. That success raises an obvious question: why are SGLT inhibitors in type 1 diabetes still largely outside routine clinical practice? The answer is not a …

Normal Blood Sugar, But Still in DKA? The Hidden Danger of Euglycemic Ketoacidosis

Euglycemic DKA SGLT2 inhibitor concept showing normal blood glucose, elevated ketones, medication, and kidney model.

Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis can challenge one of the most familiar clinical shortcuts in diabetes care: DKA should come with markedly elevated glucose. In patients taking sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, however, dangerous ketoacidosis may develop while glucose remains normal or only modestly elevated. As a result, euglycemic DKA in patients …

Continuous Ketone Monitoring Is Coming Fast: Can It Actually Reduce Outpatient DKA Risk?

Patient wearing a continuous ketone monitoring sensor while reviewing real-time glucose and ketone data on a smartphone app designed to help detect rising DKA risk.

New advances in diabetes technology are moving beyond glucose alone. While continuous glucose monitoring transformed diabetes management over the last decade, wearable ketone monitoring systems are now emerging as the next major innovation. Researchers, device manufacturers, and international diabetes organizations are increasingly focused on whether real-time ketone data can help …
