Abstract

Inhibitors of sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) increase glucose excretion in the urine and improve blood glucose in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glycosuria provides an energy and osmotic drain that could alter body composition. We therefore conducted a pilot study comparing the effects on body composition of two SGLT2 inhibitors, remogliflozin etabonate (RE) 250 mg TID (
