PROBLEMATIC ISSUES WITH SGLT2 INHIBITORS
The FDA has issued reports that indicate patients that use the SGLT2 Inhibitors for diabetes are at serious risk for contracting what is known as diabetic ketoacidosis. When this has developed, it means that the patient has too much acid in their blood.
Patients should be aware of the symptoms for diabetic ketoacidosis, which commonly include strained breathing, muscle stiffness, abdominal pain, vomiting, confusion, unquenchable thirst, nausea, rapid weight loss, as well as unusual sleepiness and fatigue.
The FDA reports also show that many patients that had taken the SGLT2 Inhibitors developed urinary tract infections, which later developed into life-threatening infections of the blood and kidney. Further, the FDA published a warning of additional complications such as bone loss and fractures.
Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2 Inhibitors) are medications prescribed by a doctor that is intended to lower blood sugar in persons that have Type 2 diabetes.

DEFINING DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS
Contracting diabetic ketoacidosis can be deadly. When someone’s body cells cannot get the sugar they require for energy, then diabetic ketoacidosis occurs. When the body is depleted of vital sugars, it begins to break down muscle and fat for energy, and ketones are released into the blood stream. Thereafter, what results is too much acid in the blood. Diabetic ketoacidosis can cause brain swelling, diabetic coma, and even death.
FDA APPROVED SUBSTANCES

It is important to reach out to an SGLT2 inhibitors lawyer as soon as someone suspects negligence or device failure.
