A Possible Novel Effect for Dapagliflozin in the Management of Subcutaneous Insulin Resistance Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases.

These are the first reported cases of SIRS in which dapagliflozin, an SGLT-2 inhibitor, was used. The substantial reduction in the IM insulin dose following the addition of dapagliflozin in our reported cases of SIRS suggests a possible novel mechanism for dapagliflozin beyond its glucosuric effects. In this report, we present a hypothetical basis for this possible novel mechanism.
