If they agree, they will return for an HbA1c measurement four weeks after stopping the SGLT2 inhibitor.\n\nIf their HbA1c rises to greater than 10%, treatment will be initiated with either metformin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, or a sulfonylurea. We do not anticipate any adverse effects during this initial period, provided the HbA1c remains below 10%.\n\nHbA1c will be measured using a fingerstick test, which requires only a minimal amount of blood. No compensation will be provided during this phase.\n\nAfter two months of medication discontinuation, participants will return for a screening visit. If they meet all eligibility criteria, they will be enrolled in the study and payment done by protocol.","ALL","30 Years","75 Years",{"count":95,"type":96},64,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[99],"PHASE1","To examine whether the empagliflozin-induced stimulation of EGP, lipolysis, and ketone production in T2D individuals can be blocked by pioglitazone (which has direct hepatic and adipose tissue effects).",[102],"Type 2 Diabetes",[104,105,106,107],"Endogenous glucose production","Ketogenesis","Gluconeogenesis","Lipolysis","2026-07-15",{"date":110,"type":111},"2026-07-17","ACTUAL",{"date":113,"type":111},"2026-05-11",{"date":115,"type":96},"2027-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
