Effect of Empagliflozin on Body Composition and Ketones

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Fat; Intolerance, Pancreas
Interventions
Drug: Hypoglycemics Oral
Registration Number
NCT03877406
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes of body composition induced by Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and its metabolic consequence in Korean type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Detailed Description

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor increases urinary excretion of glucose, promoting glycemic control and weight loss. However, it is unclear whether weight loss is attributed to decrease in fat components and associated with favorable changes in metabolic profile. The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes of body composition induced by SGLT2 inhibitor and its metabolic consequence in Korean type 2 diabetes (T2D).
