Summary

This study looked at whether adding empagliflozin (a diabetes medicine) to insulin can reduce oxidative stress—a type of cell damage—in people with type 2 diabetes who have received a kidney transplant. Forty adults with stable graft function took either empagliflozin plus insulin or insulin alone for 90 days. Researchers measured blood markers of oxidative stress to see if the combination offered extra protection.
