Risk of Urinary Tract Infections in Diabetic Patients Taking Sodium Glucose Inhibitors

Key takeaways

This study looked at how often people with diabetes taking SGLT2 inhibitors got urinary tract infections. SGLT2 inhibitors are the kidney protecting drugs that make you pass sugar in your urine, and that extra sugar can feed infections. The study is observational, so it shows a link, not proof that the drug caused the infections. No abstract is available, so the number of patients and the infection rate are not in the record.
