SGLT2 inhibitors are new glucose-lowering agents for type 2 diabetes. They promote glucose loss into urine, which lowers blood glucose levels. However, little is known regarding the changes to kidney physiology when this system is manipulated with these drugs. There is evidence that SGLT2 inhibitors do not protect against kidney disease in diabetic mice, despite being an effective blood glucose-lowering agent. I aim to characterise the changes to kidney function upon SGLT2 blockade in diabetes.
