SGLT2 inhibitors, also called gliflozins, are a class of medications that inhibit reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and therefore lower blood sugar. They act by inhibiting sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2). SGLT2 inhibitors are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This book is a concise guide to the use of SGLT2 inhibitors for the treatment of diabetes.
Beginning with an overview of the evolution and physiology of SGLT2 inhibitors, the following sections cover the renal, cardiovascular, and metabolic and haemodynamic effects of their use. Adverse effects are also examined.
The book concludes with detailed discussion on SGLT2 inhibitor use as a preferred option for management of type 2 diabetes, and currently emerging data for their successful use for treatment of type 1 diabetes.
Authored by recognised experts in the field, the book provides clinicians with the latest advances in the field, further enhanced by illustrations and figures to assist learning.
