[QUOTE="Indy51, post: 1954128, member: 48386"] I don't think either of those drugs are SGLT2 inhibitors, so DKA is unlikely in the absence of very high BG in addition to ketones. The SGLT2 inhibitors can cause a DKA like syndrome even with low BG levels - see this post elsewhere on the forum: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/sglt2-inhibitors-updated-advice-on-the-risk-of-diabetic-ketoacidosis.104325/[/URL] Urine strips are a fairly unreliable way of measuring ketones - blood testing is more accurate (though the strips are more expensive). There are many articles online about 'ketosis vs ketoacidosis' if you search for that phrase. [/QUOTE]
