Modern treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus – SGLT2 inhibitors, dapagliflozin
Abstract
The SGLT2 inhibitors are a new generation of antidiabetic drugs using an innovative, insulin-free mechanism of action. They are an alternative, as well as a supplement, to existing type 2 diabetes therapies at every stage of treatment, especially in patients with obesity.
A low risk of hypoglycaemia, weight reduction, antihypertensive effect and once-daily oral administration may be additional advantages for this particular group.
This article presents the case of a 58-year-old obese patient who had the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin added to his sulphonylurea therapy.
