SGLT2 inhibitors, a new drug for blood sugar control and weight loss
Diabetes treatments and knowledge are being updated rapidly, so we need to educate ourselves and make an effort to listen to new medical information and make good use of it. By doing so, we can overcome diabetes and turn it into a healthy life event.
SGLT-2 inhibitors are diabetes medications that reduce blood sugar by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys, and improve cardiovascular and kidney health. Taking SGLT-2 inhibitors results in weight loss, lower blood pressure, and fewer cardiovascular and kidney complications because more glucose is excreted in the urine, dragging sodium and water with it. SGLT-2 inhibitors also inhibit glucose production in the liver and increase glucose use in the muscles, which lowers blood sugar and improves insulin resistance. This makes SGLT-2 inhibitors very effective medications for managing blood sugar and weight.
I have diabetes myself, and in my case, I lost about 10 pounds in less than six months. Basically, they were very effective in managing my weight without cutting back on food. This video highlights the complexity of controlling blood sugar and the need for a multifaceted approach to diabetes treatment.
