Fixed-Ratio Combination of Insulin and GLP-1 RA in Patients with Longstanding Type 2 Diabetes: A Subanalysis of LixiLan-L
iGlarLixi lowered glycated haemoglobin more versus iGlar regardless of T2D duration, with benefit retained even among patients with the longest T2D duration (Diabetes Therapy)
A Systematic Review of Cost-Effectiveness of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors for Type 2 Diabetes
The literature demonstrated that SGLT2i may be cost-effective compared to many antidiabetic therapies including DPP-4i, SU, TZD, AGI, insulin, and standard care (Economics and Policy in Diabetes)
New ABCD Resource: SGLT-2 inhibitors in people with type 2 diabetes
We hope that this document will help pragmatically support those involved in the day to day care of people with type 2 diabetes in the “here and now”, with the aim of maximizing the benefits and minimizing harm
Efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors in older adults with diabetes: systematic review with meta-analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials
The results are reassuring, as they confirm that the efficacy profile of gliflozins is unchanged by age, and may further enhance the CV protection offered by statin (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Sodium–glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitor cardiovascular outcome trials and generalizability to English primary care
There was variation in proportions of the primary care type 2 diabetes population fulfilling inclusion criteria of SGLT‐2i CVOTs. The more stringent the inclusion criteria, the lower the proportion identified in a primary care setting. Prescription rates for SGLT‐2is were low in this national database, and there were demographic disparities in prescribing (Diabetic Medicine)
Basic and Clinical Pharmaco-Therapeutics of SGLT2 Inhibitors: A Contemporary Update
This review describes the present evidence on diverse pharmacological and therapeutic aspects for various SGLT2 inhibitors, as an attempt to provide useful guidance for optimum application in clinical practice (Diabetes Therapy)
Can the Cardiovascular Risk Reductions Observed with Empagliflozin in the EMPA‐REG OUTCOME Trial be Explained by Concomitant Changes Seen in Conventional Cardiovascular Risk Factor Levels?
Empagliflozin‐associated changes in conventional CV risk factors in EMPA‐REG OUTCOME appear to explain only a small proportion of the CV and all‐cause death reductions observed. Alternative risk‐reduction mechanisms need to be explored to determine if the observed CV risk changes can be explained by other factors, or possibly by a direct drug‐specific effect (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
SGLT2 Inhibitors Produce Cardiorenal Benefits by Promoting Adaptive Cellular Reprogramming to Induce a State of Fasting Mimicry: A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Their Mechanism of Action
There is compelling evidence that sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors exert cardioprotective and renoprotective effects that are far greater than expected based on their effects on glycemia or glycosuria (Diabetes Care)
Efficacy and tolerability of sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis
Long‐acting GLP‐1RAs showed superiority in reducing HbA1c levels, body weight and waist circumference. SGLT‐2is showed reductions in blood pressure levels. This review provide essential evidence to guide treatment recommendations in the management of type 2 diabetes (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Insights from the DECLARE-TIMI 58 Trial
Dapagliflozin decreased the incidence of reported episodes of AF/AFL adverse events in high-risk patients with T2DM. This effect was consistent regardless of the patients’ prior history of AF, ASCVD, or HF (circulation)
Sotagliflozin with insulin for treating type 1 diabetes

Favorable pleiotropic effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors: head-to-head comparisons with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes patients
SGLT2 inhibitors had glucose-lowering effects comparable to those of DPP4 inhibitors but more favorable pleiotropic effects on body weight, ALT and eGFR changes, potentially improving type 2 diabetes patients’ cardio-metabolic disease risks (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
SGLT‐2 Inhibitor Renal Outcome Modification in Type‐2 Diabetes: Evidence from Studies in Patients with High or Low Renal Risk
While confirmatory of the exploratory data from CVOTs, CREDENCE provides the first robust data on the effects of canagliflozin on patient relevant renal endpoints. Extrapolation to a conclusion of a SGLT2 inhibitor class effect cannot be made until additional renal trials with other SGLT2 inhibitors are reported (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Sodium‐Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibition for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors protect against cardiovascular disease and death in diverse subsets of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus regardless of cardiovascular disease history (Journal of the American Heart Association)
Liraglutide as add‐on to SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes: LIRA‐ADD2SGLT2i, a 26‐week, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial
Liraglutide significantly improved glycaemic control compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes, insufficiently controlled with SGLT2is with/without metformin, with no unexpected safety findings (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Empagliflozin Effectively Lowers Liver Fat Content in Well-Controlled Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 4, Placebo-Controlled Trial
EMPA effectively reduces hepatic fat in patients with T2D with excellent glycemic control and short known disease duration. Interestingly, EMPA also decreases circulating uric acid and raises adiponectin levels despite unchanged insulin sensitivity. EMPA could therefore contribute to the early treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in T2D (Diabetes Care)
Comparative effects of sulfonylureas, DPP4is and SGLT2 inhibitors added to metformin monotherapy: a propensity‐score matched cohort study in UK primary care
In routine care, SGLT2is have greater effects on cardiometabolic risk factors than SUs. Routine care data closely replicates the effects of diabetes drugs on physiological variables measured in clinical trials (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Assessing the Risk for Gout With Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Adults with type 2 diabetes prescribed an SGLT2 inhibitor had a lower rate of gout than those prescribed a GLP1 agonist. Sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors may reduce the risk for gout among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, although future studies are necessary to confirm this observation (Annals of Internal Medicine)
Enhancement of the serum chloride concentration by administration of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor and its mechanisms and clinical significance in type 2 diabetic patients
The present study demonstrated that SGLT2i enhances the serum chloride concentration in T2DM patients and suggests that the effect is mediated by the possible following mechanisms: (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
