Safety of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors during Ramadan fasting: Evidence, perceptions and guidelines
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new glucose-lowering therapy for T2DM with documented benefits on blood glucose, hypertension, weight reduction and long term cardiovascular benefit. They have an inherent osmotic diuretic effect and lead to some volume loss and possible dehydration. There is some concern about the safety of using SGLT2 inhibitors in Muslim type 2 diabete...
متن کاملSodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor: Patient safety and clinical importance
The article by Raut and Maheshwari[1] is indeed interesting. However, the suggestion made by the authors on the usefulness of empagliflozin in diabetic perioperative patients needs contemplation from the point of patient safety and risk factors, as it causes euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis. Moreover, in May 2015, the Food and Drug Administration issued a warning of ketoacidosis with the use o...
متن کاملSodium Glucose Co-transporter Type 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors: Targeting the Kidney to Improve Glycemic Control in Diabetes Mellitus
Although hyperglycemia is a key therapeutic focus in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), many patients experience sub-optimal glycemic control. Current glucose-lowering agents involve the targeting of various body organs. Sodium glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors target the kidney, reduce renal glucose reabsorption, and increase urinary glucose elimina...
متن کاملSodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 Inhibitors could Improve the Bioavailability of Vitamin C at the Kidney in Diabetes Treatment
It is known that plasma (serum) vitamin C level is lowered in diabetic patients by some mechanisms including renal loss [1]. Vitamin C and glucose filtered from the glomerulus are presumed to be reabsorbed at the renal proximal tubule by sodium-vitamin C co-transporter (SVCT) 1 and sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) 2, respectively [2-4]. In the enterocyte that expresses SVCT 1 and SGLT 1, it...
متن کاملPractical Approach to Initiating SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are an attractive novel therapeutic option for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. They block the reabsorption of filtered glucose in kidneys, mainly in proximal renal tubules, resulting in increased urinary glucose excretion and correction of the diabetes-related hyperglycemia. Beyond improving glucose control, SGLT2 inhibitors offer potential b...
