Ketoacidosis, a severe side effect of diabetes medications, occurs when ketones build up in the bloodstream as a result of the body using fats for fuel. Ketoacidosis is a potentially life-threatening medical emergency and is marked by symptoms such as intense thirst, frequent urination, nausea, abdominal pain, weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Because of the increased risk for ketoacidosis or low blood sugar, both ketone and glucose levels should be checked regularly when Jardiance is being taken.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/p>\n
