Safety and efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in type 1 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

Aims Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are currently FDA approved for the management of type 2 diabetes. Our objective was to review the available evidence of the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on HbA 1c, body weight, and total daily insulin dose, as well as their safety profile in patients with type 1 diabetes.Methods Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified by conducting a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane library databases through August 2017. Data on study design, sample size, mean ± standard deviation of HbA 1c, body weight, and total daily insulin dose, as well as reported adverse events were extracted. Weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model.Results Relative to placebo, therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors led to significant reductions in HbA 1c (WMD 0.39; 95% CI 0.27, 0.51), body weight (WMD 2.76; 95% CI 1.11, 4.40), and total daily insulin dose (WMD 5.03; 95% CI 1.83, 8.23). In addition, there was no significant difference in the rate of adverse events.Conclusions The current study lends supports for the development of SGLT2 inhibitors in combination with insulin as a treatment option for patients with type 1 diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
