Longitudinal efficacy of Ertugliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Ertugliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, seems to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aim to evaluate the efficacy of Ertugliflozin across multiple time intervals (18, 26, and 52 weeks) in T2DM patients.

Methods: A literature search was conducted on electronic databases.

Attenuated serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and vitamin D binding protein associated with cognitive impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

However, it is unclear if 25(OH)D deficiency could be a possible cause of cognitive impairment in T2DM. Vitamin-D binding protein (VDBP) acts as a major 25(OH)D transporter.
