Conclusion
Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are primarily used to reduce and control blood sugar levels in people who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Asides from managing blood sugar levels, this group of drugs can also be used to treat heart failure, kidney disorders, and other cardiovascular diseases. Studies show that they are safe to use. However, they may result in some severe or mild side effects. Using the inhibitors with other diabetes drugs can lead to various complications. It would help to visit your healthcare provider to learn more about the risks and possible benefits of using this type of drug to treat type 2 diabetes.
