    AbstractSGLT2 inhibition offers a novel mechanism to mitigate hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes and the introduction of SGLT2 has added a significant new tool to the antihyperglycemic armamentarium. At present, 2 agents are approved for use in the United States and several more are in development. SGLT2 inhibitors are generally associated with a reduction in A1C of between 0.5% and 1%. SGLT2 inhibitors are associated with an increased incidence of urinary tract and genital infections but these infections are typically mild, responsive to treatment, and are not use limiting.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
