Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyHealth-related quality of life (EQ-5D) among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients treated with dapagliflozin over 2 years.
This study evaluated health status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with dapagliflozin, a highly selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing glucose excretion, in a double-blind, randomised clinical trial. ⋯ Patients maintained high HRQOL scores from baseline through week 102 in both treatment groups. Dapagliflozin, a novel SGLT2 inhibitor, did not adversely affect HRQOL over 2 years of treatment.
