    SGLT2 Inhibitors vs Metformin as Monotherapy

    Δ, mean change from baseline vs metformin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SGLT2, sodium glucose cotransporter 2.Pooled results for 6 studies of SGLT2 inhibitors with ≥ 12 wk duration from published and gray literature sources through June 30, 2014 (search strategy adapted from Vasilakou et al. Ann Intern Med. 2013;159(4):262–274). Results are presented for the group allocated to the highest, most common dose among studies.Reproduced with permission from A Tsapas, MD, PhD.

    SGLT2 Inhibitors vs Sulfonylureas as Add-on Therapy to Metformin

    Δ, mean change from baseline vs metformin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; SGLT2, sodium glucose contransporter 2.Pooled results for 3 trials of SGLT2 inhibitors with ≥ 12 wk duration from published and gray literature sources through June 30, 2014 (search strategy adapted from Vasilakou et al. Ann Intern Med. 2013;159(4):262–274). Results are presented for the group allocated to the highest, most common dose among studies.Reproduced with permission from A Tsapas, MD, PhD.
