Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion and present a valuable therapeutic option for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Presently, clinically available SGLT2 inhibitors include canagliflozin, dapagliflozin andempagliflozin [1, 2].
