Sodium-Glucose Cotransport Inhibition With Dapagliflozin in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Dapagliflozin improved hyperglycemia and facilitates weight loss in type 2 diabetic patients by inducing controlled glucosuria with urinary loss of ∼200–300 kcal/day and demonstrated significant glycemic improvements versus placebo.
