Description of SGLT-2 Inhibitors:
SGLT-2 inhibitors are a class of antidiabetic drugs that lower blood glucose levels by blocking the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) in the kidneys. This transporter is responsible for reabsorbing most of the filtered glucose from the renal tubules back into the bloodstream. By inhibiting SGLT-2, these drugs prevent glucose reabsorption, leading to increased glucose excretion in the urine (glycosuria) and a reduction in blood sugar levels.
In addition to improving glycemic control, SGLT-2 inhibitors also promote mild weight loss and lower blood pressure due to their
