Adjunct-to-Insulin Therapy Using SGLT2 Inhibitors in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes: Clinical Impact and Renal Outcomes

Highlights

  • The ATTEMPT trial demonstrated that dapagliflozin adjunct to insulin reduced measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) in youth with type 1 diabetes, indicating reduction in renal hyperfiltration.
  • Dapagliflozin improved glycemic control, evidenced by decreased HbA1c and increased glucose time in range without increasing total daily insulin doses.
  • Body weight reduction was observed with dapagliflozin without significant adverse events; only one mild diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) event occurred under ketone monitoring and education protocols.
  • Earlier trials with sotagliflozin and dapagliflozin in adults support renal and glycemic benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors, highlighting translational potential in youth with type 1 diabetes.
