Effect of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors on the 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension: An Updated Meta-Analysis.

Objective: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), initially developed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment, have shown potential benefits beyond glycemic control, including a positive impact on the blood pressure (BP). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate their effects on patients with type 2 DM and hypertension.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases for relevant randomized controlled trials published until May 31, 2023.
