We report a beneficial effect of a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in the management of insulin resistant diabetes mellitus (IRDM) in a Japanese girl with mild Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS). At 10 2/12 years of age, she was referred to us because of glucosuria, and was found to have marked acanthosis nigricans and RMS-like facial features such as proptosis, large ears, full lips, and gingival hypertrophy, but not other clinical features frequently found in RMS. At 11 9/12 years of age, her blood HbA1c level, though it remained ~ 6.

Aims: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been shown to reduce visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue. Although many systematic reviews have examined SGLT2i's effect on VAT and SAT, a focus analysis of dapagliflozin, one of the more commonly prescribe SGLT2i, has yet to been done. This study aims to determine the effect of dapagliflozin on reducing VAT and SAT in patients with chronic disease.

Background: Several studies showed higher risks of cardiovascular complications to have been observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter have been more pronounced in patients with hyperglycemia. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are now considered as second-line treatment for patients with T2DM following inadequate glycemic control with first line agents.

Background: Sparsentan, a dual-acting antagonist for both the angiotensin II receptor type 1 and the endothelin receptor type A, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Following the publication of the PROTECT trial, sparsentan recently received approval for the treatment of IgAN in Europe. However, it remains uncertain whether an additive effect can be observed in the context of existing treatment with sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, given that the PROTECT study did not investigate this dual therapy approach.

Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors represent a novel class of hypoglycemic drugs that have emerged in recent years. These inhibitors function primarily by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, specifically targeting the SGLT2 proteins in the proximal convoluted tubules. This inhibition results in the reduction of blood glucose levels through increased glucose excretion in the urine.
