A treatment for diabetes since 2013 they are taken once a day with or without food drugs in this class are the following drugs belong to the sglt2 inhibitors which are available in different trade names one dopa glyphis n’ to canagliflozin and three in piglet flows in how do sglt2 inhibitors work the kidneys work by filtering glucose out of the blood and then
Reabsorbing glucose back into the blood the proteins that reabsorb glucose are called sodium glucose transport proteins sglt2 inhibitors block these proteins which means less glucose gets reabsorbed back into the blood and gets passed out of the body via the urine hence sglt2 inhibitors work by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the blood this
Allows the kidneys to lower blood glucose levels and the excess glucose in the blood is removed from the body via urine who are sglt2 inhibitors suitable for sglt2 inhibitors may be suitable for people with type 2 diabetes that have high blood glucose levels despite being on a medication regimen such as metformin and insulin sglt2 inhibitors are not recommended
For prescribing to people with kidney disease as kidney disease prevents the drug from working sufficiently well what are the benefits of sglt2 inhibitors sglt2 inhibitors help to remove glucose from the blood and therefore help to lower blood glucose levels and thereby decreases risk of complications of diabetes by removing glucose from the body sglt2 inhibitors
