Prescribing of SGLT2 inhibitors in primary care: a qualitative study of General Practitioners and Endocrinologists
In 2015, the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial reported that treatment with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, empagliflozin, significantly reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome – death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk [1]. Since that landmark trial, many other large randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have confirmed the cardiovascular (particularly with respect to he art failure) and renal benefits of this drug class [2–7].

SGLT2 inhibitors with cardiovascular benefits: transforming clinical care in Type2 diabetes mellitus
Persons with type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at higher risk than persons without diabetes of developing atherosclerotic vascular diseases and events including myocardial infarction and stroke, as well as complications such as chronic kidney disease [1,2]. Optimal management of their diabetes and its comorbidities is required to address the increased risk of cardiovascular and related diseases [3]. Certain sodium –glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have recently been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in high cardiovascular-risk individuals with T2DM, with empagliflozin being the first to demonstrate a r...
