What are SGLT-2 inhibitors and how do they work?

So the SGLT2 inhibitors are the medications that basically make you lose the glucose in the urine. You can pee the sugar out, essentially in the form of a diuretic. And when you have less sugar around, then your mechanism changes and your overall control within the overall levels of the sugar within the blood, it goes down. So these are medications that control diabetes, or type 2 diabetes, by making, making, making, getting rid of the blood sugar through the kidneys. Essentially, what they also work as diuretics. They're licensed, they've recently been withdrawn for type 1 diabetes so they're only licensed to be used in type 2 diabetes.
