Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) may have important benefits for the elderly with type 2 diabetes (T2D), however some safety concerns still limit their use in patients over 70 years of age. The SOLD study (SGLT2-i in Older Diabetic patients) aim to evaluate which basal characteristics of the patients are more frequently related to the suspension of treatment with SGLT2-i in a real-life setting.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefits, documented in experimental settings, of treatment with SGLT2-i in subjects with type 2 diabetes and older than 70 years in normal clinical practice.~The type of study does not involve immediate risks or direct benefits for the subjects taking part in it. The potential benefits for clinicians and healthcare systems are: greater knowledge of diabetic disease and the study of new treatment options. However, the analysis of the data will allow us to better identify which patients benefit most from treatment with glycosurics.
