Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors in Type 1 Diabetes: A Scoping Review

Conclusions. SGLT2 inhibitors, as an add-on therapy to insulin, improve glycaemic outcomes in adults with T1D with a potential cost of increasing the risk of DKA. The use of add-on SGLT2 inhibitors to insulin show promising results in youths with T1D. Moreover, SGLT2 inhibitors as add-on therapy in combination with closed-loop insulin therapy could provide additional benefits in improving glycemic control. The current role of SGLT2 inhibitors as an adjunct therapy to insulin in individuals with type 1 diabetes is yet to be determined.
