SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:  
As a result of this CME session, participants should be better able to:

1. Recognize that SGLT2 inhibitors block reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys and dilate the afferent arterioles in the kidney.
2. Recognize that blocking SGLT2 decreased HbA1c by 0.5-1.15 and did not cause hypoglycemia.
3. Recognize that SGLT2 inhibitor trials showed decreased cardiac events (myocardial infarction, stroke, and death from cardiac causes) along with decreased hospitalization from congestive heart failure.
4. Recognize that SGLT2 inhibitors protect the kidney and decrease risk of progression disease to dialysis, transplant, or death from kidney disease.
