| 1. | Review the role of the kidney in blood glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus | 2. | Validate the rationale for SGLT2 inhibitor therapy based on its unique glycosuria-based mechanism of action |
| 3. | Determine the appropriate use of SGLT2 therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes that are otherwise healthy or exhibit higher blood glucose concentration | 4. | Integrate emerging evidence on novel SGLT2 inhibitors into the treatment paradigm for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus |
