Ketoacidosis is a serious condition where the body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones that may require hospitalization for treatment and can result in diabetic coma, brain swelling, or even death.

The FDA WARNED the public on May 15, 2015 that these Type 2 Diabetic drugs may lead to a life threatening blood condition known as ketoacidosis. The FDA FAERS identified 20 cases of acidosis reported as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), ketoacidosis, or ketosis in patients treated with SGLT2 Inhibitors from March 2013 through June 6, 2014. Due to the FAERS report, the FDA is currently investigating the safety of SGLT2 Inhibitors to determine if modifications to their drugs prescribing labels are necessary.

The FDA also posted an updated warning on May 16, 2017 about Invokana. Based on new data from two large clinical trials, the FDA has concluded that the type 2 diabetes medicine canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet, Invokamet XR) causes an increased risk of leg and foot amputations. FDA is requiring new warnings, including the most prominent Boxed Warning, to be added to the canagliflozin drug labels to describe this risk.
