Once-weekly semaglutide 1·0 mg was superior to daily canagliflozin 300 mg in reducing HbA 1c and bodyweight in patients with type 2 diabetes uncontrolled on metformin therapy. These outcomes might guide treatment intensification choices (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)

Canagliflozin Improves Erythropoiesis in Diabetes Patients with Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease
Canagliflozin treatment led to an improvement in erythropoiesis in patients with impaired kidney function. The effect on erythropoiesis appeared to be due to an EPO production-mediated mechanism and might be independent of glycemic control; however, further studies are needed to clarify this since the present study had a small sample size and no comparator group (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Canagliflozin and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy
In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years (NEJM)
Canagliflozin and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy
In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years (NEJM)
Fracture Risk After Initiation of Use of Canagliflozin: A Cohort Study
In this study of middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes and relatively low fracture risk, canagliflozin was not associated with increased risk for fracture compared with GLP-1 agonists (Annals of Internal Medicine)
Cost of Glycemic Target Achievement with Sodium Glucose Co-transporter 2 Inhibitors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in the UK
This analysis suggests that, in the UK, canagliflozin 300 mg provides the best value for money among all SGLT2 inhibitors in terms of achieving HbA1c <7.0% when used as part of triple therapy with metformin plus sulfonylurea (Diabetes Therapy)
Systematic review of metformin monotherapy and dual therapy with sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2) in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus
The combined therapy of SGLT2 inhibitor along with metformin is more effective in HbA1c reduction and weight reduction as compared to monotherapy using metformin alone. Among the three SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin canagliflozin and empagliflozin do not differ much in the efficiency of weight reduction. However, Empagliflozin 25mg is effective in HbA1c reduction (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Canagliflozin and Cardiovascular and Renal Events in Type 2 Diabetes
In two trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, patients treated with canagliflozin had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those who received placebo but a greater risk of amputation, primarily at the level of the toe or metatarsal (NEJM)
Effects of canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, on blood pressure and markers of arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a post hoc analysis
Canagliflozin improved all three cardiovascular physiologic markers, consistent with the hypothesis that canagliflozin may have beneficial effects on some cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2DM (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Urinary tract and genital infections in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors
Our study found that canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin were associated with significantly increased risk of genital infections compared with placebo and other active treatments. Only dapagliflozin had dose–response relationship with UTIs and genital infections (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Simultaneous Reduction in Both HbA1c and Body Weight with Canagliflozin Versus Glimepiride in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes on Metformin
More patients treated with canagliflozin experienced reductions in both HbA1c and body weight compared with glimepiride for up to 104 weeks. Canagliflozin was generally well tolerated in patients with T2DM when used in combination with metformin (Diabetes Therapy)
Efficacy and safety of canagliflozin when used in conjunction with incretin-mimetic therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes
In patients on background incretin mimetics, canagliflozin improved HbA1c, body weight and BP, with an increased incidence of AEs related to SGLT2 inhibition (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Related Events in the Canagliflozin Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Program
DKA and related events occurred at a low frequency in the canagliflozin type 2 diabetes program, with an incidence consistent with limited existing observational data in the general population with type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Care)
