ABSTRACT: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a promising class of medications for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) treatment. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety, and potential benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors in improving cardiovascular and renal outcomes in DM2 patients. A comprehensive review of clinical trials and studies on SGLT-2 inhibitors was conducted. SGLT-2 inhibitors significantly improve glycemic control, reduce cardiovascular mortality, and lower the risk of renal events in DM2 patients. SGLT-2 inhibitors offer substantial cardio-renal protection in DM2 management, though further research is needed to optimize their use.
