      TLDR: GLP-1 and SGLT-2 drugs have been associated with EKA in the literature; Treating physicians need to be aware of ketone levels of their patients, or at least keep the EKA as a possible differential diagnosis. This hints at a underlying mechanism of benefit between ketogenic metabolism and these drugs.

      SGLT2 inhibitors have been associated with increases in ketone-associated adverse events.

      these data suggest a causal relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and an asymptomatic rise in ketone bodies
