Purpose Of Review: Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are relatively novel antidiabetic drugs that improve glycemic control and reduce cardiovascular outcomes as well as renal function decline. SGLT2 inhibitors act by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Emerging data suggest that these drugs may also influence bone and mineral metabolism. This review summarizes clinical trial data on bone and mineral outcomes, and discusses potential underlying mechanisms.
Recent Findings: Three large randomized controlled trials documented cardiovascular and renal protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors influence renal phosphate reabsorption and calciuria. Although the CANVAS trial suggested an increased fracture risk associated with canagliflozin compared with placebo, the vast majority of trials and meta-analyses did not demonstrate an increased fracture risk associated with SGLT2 inhibitor use.
Summary: SGLT2 inhibitors have shown clinically relevant cardiovascular and renal protective effects. The long-term implications for bone health, in particular in the context of chronic kidney disease, are still incompletely understood and warrant further investigation.

Introduction Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis. The Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI), in conjunction with the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), has been used as a mortality predictor during hospitalization. Patients with diabetes have also been shown to be at an increased risk for the development of FG.

Introduction: The progression of diabetes status in post-stroke patients remains under-investigated, particularly regarding new treatments for type II diabetes mellitus (DM II), like glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, which have not been studied in the post-stroke setting.
Patients And Methods: Eight hundred eighty-four consecutive ischemic stroke patients recruited to our prospective STROKE-CARD Registry were assessed concerning their glycemic status at baseline (normoglycemia, prediabetes, DM II) and change over time within 1 year follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with transitioning from normoglycemia to prediabetes or DM II.
Treatment outcomes with oral anti-hyperglycaemic therapies in people with diabetes secondary to a pancreatic condition (type 3c diabetes): A population-based cohort study.

Aims: To assess outcomes of oral anti-hyperglycaemic therapies in people with diabetes secondary to a pancreatic condition (type 3c), where specific treatment guidance is limited.
Materials And Methods: Using hospital-linked UK primary care records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink; 2004-2020), we identified 7084 people with a pancreatic condition (acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis) preceding diabetes diagnosis (type 3c cohort), initiating oral glucose-lowering therapy (metformin, sulphonylureas, SGLT2-inhibitors, DPP4-inhibitors or thiazolidinediones), and without concurrent insulin treatment. We stratified by pancreatic exocrine insufficiency [PEI] (n = 5917 without PEI, 1167 with PEI) and matched to 97 227 type 2 diabetes (T2D) controls.
Impact of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Lipoproteins in Type 2 Diabetes.

Purpose Of Review: This article explores the cardiovascular effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a particular focus on their impact on lipid profiles. As evidence grows of the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2i beyond glucose control, it is essential to better understand their effects on lipoproteins and their impact on cardiovascular disease.
Recent Findings: SGLT2i have shown significant cardiovascular benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, beyond their role in lowering blood glucose.
Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors ameliorate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) by modulating autophagic processes.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common clinical condition that currently lacks effective treatment options. Inhibitors targeting the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2), recognized for their role in managing hyperglycemia, have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing the health outcomes for diabetic patients grappling with chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, the precise impact of SGLT-2 inhibitors on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and the corresponding transcriptomic alterations remain to be elucidated.
