Sotagliflozin, the first dual SGLT inhibitor: current outlook and perspectives
Sotagliflozin is a dual sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 and 1 (SGLT2/1) inhibitor for the treatment of both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Sotagliflozin inhibits renal sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 (determining significant excretion of glucose
