Excerpt

As outlined in the latest recommendations for patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2), sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) can be added on treatments with metformin or sulfonylurea plus metformin if glycemic goals are not met [1]. Genital and urinary infections are well-known side effects of SGLT2i, with reported odds ratios in the range of 3.21–5.23, compared with placebo [2, 3]. …
