SGLT2 inhibitor

SGLT2 inhibitors are a class of diabetes medications that work by blocking a protein in your kidneys called SGLT2, which normally helps reabsorb glucose back into your bloodstream. By blocking this protein, the drugs allow excess sugar to be filtered out through your urine instead, lowering your blood sugar levels naturally. Beyond treating diabetes, these medications have also proven surprisingly beneficial for heart and kidney health, making them valuable for patients with these conditions.
