NCT ID NCT07716774
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how SGLT-2 inhibitors, a common class of diabetes drugs, affect lower urinary tract symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and nighttime trips to the bathroom. Researchers will follow adults with type 2 diabetes who are starting an SGLT-2 inhibitor for the first time, tracking their bladder symptoms using a diary and a questionnaire before and after one month of treatment. The goal is to better understand any changes in bladder function that may occur with this medication.
