Abstract

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) treatment has progressed dramatically in recent decades. The recent major expansion of the evidence base for T2DM treatment has resulted in frequent revisions of guidelines for hyperglycemia management. When there were few pharmaceutical options, the management strategy was glucocentric or hyperglycemic control. There has been a significant change from the glucocentric era to a more patient-centered and organ-protection era evident in clinical practice guidelines of diabetes management. In addition, since the diabetes armamentarium has grown and new information has been available, the focus has shifted from hyperglycemia control to a more holistic approach, including cardiovascular and renal benefits of the drugs and safety concerns such as weight gain, hypoglycemia. The introduction of the Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class of medications has had a substantial impact on diabetes management. The constant positive findings of multiple Cardiovascular Outcome Trials (CVOTs) with SGLT2 inhibitors prompted a paradigm shift: from hyperglycemia control to a patient-centered approach. As a result, SGLT2 inhibitors have been identified by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) as an ideal class for a more patient-centered approach to T2DM treatment, become a driving force in diabetes care. Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, has recently emerged as a glucose-lowering medication that has been found to not only be successful in lowering glycemic levels but also to improve cardio-renal outcomes in diabetic patients. Furthermore, Dapagliflozin is the first anti-diabetic drug to show cardiac and renal benefits even in those who do not have diabetes. As a result, Dapagliflozin has paved the way for a future organ protection strategy for diabetes as well as non-diabetes.
