Summary

This study looked at whether adding empagliflozin to insulin can reduce oxidative stress in people with type 2 diabetes who have had a kidney transplant. Forty patients were split into two groups: one received empagliflozin plus insulin, the other insulin alone. After 90 days, researchers measured various markers of oxidative stress in the blood to see if empagliflozin made a difference.
