SGLT-2i—A Useful Tool for Real-Life Metabolic and Body Weight Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Elevated blood sugar poses an increasingly significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. We aimed to assess the efficacy of the SGLT-2i class in achieving metabolic control in patients with T2DM within a real-world standard-of-care regimen. <i>Material and Methods:</i> A prospective analysis was conducted over 6 months including individuals receiving care in an outpatient department, with baseline assessments and follow-ups at 3 and 6 months. <i>Results:</i> A total of 280 patients were assessed, with a mean age of 63.69 ± 9.16, 53.9% of which were males, with a mean DM duration of 9.06 ± 5.64 years, and a DM duration varying from 6 months to 24 years. <i>Discussion:</i> Real-world evidence bridges the gap between guidelines and practice. It emphasizes the need to overcome clinical inertia in order to optimize patient outcomes and contributes to the body of evidence supporting the efficacy of fixed-dose SGLT-2i combinations in managing T2DM and associated comorbidities. <i>Conclusions:</i> We demonstrate the significant clinical and therapeutic impact of SGLT-2i in T2DM patients in a real-world setting. This class of medication not only positively influences glycemic and weight control but also reduces CV risk factors and visceral adiposity.

Abstract

<i>Background and Objectives:</i> Elevated blood sugar poses an increasingly significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. We aimed to assess the efficacy of the SGLT-2i class in achieving metabolic control in patients with T2DM within a real-world standard-of-care regimen. <i>Material and Methods:</i> A prospective analysis was conducted over 6 months including individuals receiving care in an outpatient department, with baseline assessments and follow-ups at 3 and 6 months. <i>Results:</i> A total of 280 patients were assessed, with a mean age of 63.69 ± 9.16, 53.9% of which were males, with a mean DM duration of 9.06 ± 5.64 years, and a DM duration varying from 6 months to 24 years. <i>Discussion:</i> Real-world evidence bridges the gap between guidelines and practice. It emphasizes the need to overcome clinical inertia in order to optimize patient outcomes and contributes to the body of evidence supporting the efficacy of fixed-dose SGLT-2i combinations in managing T2DM and associated comorbidities. <i>Conclusions:</i> We demonstrate the significant clinical and therapeutic impact of SGLT-2i in T2DM patients in a real-world setting.
