UNSTRUCTURED A 59-year-old female patient undergoing deep inferior epigastric perforator flap surgery for autologous breast reconstruction became acutely ill with tachypnea, nausea, and vomiting on post-operative day three. A work-up elucidated a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with lower-than-expected glucose levels as a result of recent semaglutide use. She required intensive care unit resuscitation with an insulin drip and glucose administration. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a class of oral anti-hyperglycemic agents used for the treatment of type II diabetes (DMII). As the use of these medications become more prevalent, surgeons must be educated of this serious complication and plan for patient management in advance of minor and major surgeries.
