Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 45,711 people taking SGLT2 drugs, a class of medicine that protects the kidneys. It found that checking for sugar in the urine is a good way to see if a person is actually taking the pill. This is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It helps doctors know if a patient is taking their medicine.
