Abstract: (418 Views)
Sodium-glucose transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a relatively new class of anti-diabetic drugs with potent effect in glycemic control and weight loss, as well as beneficial effects in the prevention and control of cardiac and renal complications in non-pregnant patients with type 2 diabetes. However, there is no enough clear and strong evidence about the beneficial or adverse effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors usage during pregnancy for management of gestational diabetes (GDM) in human. This short letter discusses challenges in application of SGLT-2 inhibitors in management of GDM.
