Background: SGLT2-I is a promising new class of diabetes pharmacotherapy, it targets blood glucose lowering in both postprandial and fasting states. It offers minimal risk of hypoglycemic events and demonstrates modest effects on blood pressure and weight.

Objective: Meta-analysis review of SGLT2-I outcome, safety and efficacy RCT.

Methods: Medline, EMBASE & CENTRAL were searched until August 2015, double blind RCT in T2DM with at least 12 weeks treatment duration evaluated.
