Purpose: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are primarily preferred in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this paper was to elucidate the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitor use on patients' voiding habits, sleep, and quality of life. Methods: Our study involved patients with type 2 diabetes who had an SGLT2 inhibitor added to their current treatment. The frequency of day-night urination, lower urinary tract symptoms, sleep and quality of life were assessed both prior to initiation of the treatment and during subsequent 1st and 3rd months. Results: The study included 38 women and 34 men. At the third month after SGLT-2 inhibitor had been added, there was a significant decrease in HbA1c, triglyceride and microalbumin levels (p<0.05). There was no increase in voiding frequency (day/night) and there was no difference in the evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms, but voiding volumes increased in uroflowmetry. When the short form-36 (SF-36) scale was examined, there was a significant improvement in physical function, one of the sub-parameters (p = 0.01). The factor affecting this most, was the improvement in HbA1c. Conclusion: This paper suggests that SGLT-2 inhibitors don't increase voiding frequency and don't cause an increase in lower urinary tract symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
