Advantages of taking an SGLT2 inhibitor
When you take an SGLT2 inhibitor with other diabetes drugs, it can help reduce your blood sugar levels. It can also prevent you from getting complications from type 2 diabetes. According to research, these drugs help regulate blood pressure, reduce blood cholesterol [2] levels, and facilitate weight loss.
SGLT2 inhibitors reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death caused by any cardiovascular condition in people who have type 2 diabetes. They also improve the management of kidney disease [3].
The potential health benefits of SGLT2 may be different for some people. It is important to tell your doctor about any underlying disease you have before commencing a treatment plan.
