[QUOTE="kokhongw, post: 2047298, member: 277199"] This is a general summary of what SGLT2 inhibitors can do... its main function is to pass out glucose by lowering the re-absorption threshold of glucose in the kidney. So instead of passing out glucose only when it is more than 10 mmols, it passes out when it is lower...eg 8 mmol... As Dr Jason Fung suggested, the alternative would be to not to put in so much glucose daily... perhaps that would give the same benefits minus the risk of serious side effects? Unfortunately, there has been no such study to compare carbs restriction vs SGLT2 Inhibitors... [ATTACH=full]32810[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
