Empagliflozin Aids Weight Loss in Prediabetes and Diabetes suggests a new study published in the Scientific Reports.
The impact of blood glucose-lowering medications on weight has always been a topic of interest in the treatment of diabetic patients. This study investigates the effect of empagliflozin on weight in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
This quasi-experimental study was performed on patients with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c level up to 1% higher than the treatment target, and not using other blood glucose-lowering medications. Patients received 10 milligrams of Empagliflozin once daily for three months, and weight, BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure were evaluated monthly.
