Luseogliflozin improves glycemic control in older adults with T2D

Última actualización 5 de julio de 2026

Key finding

HbA1c decreased by 0.14% from baseline to week 52.

This study investigated the effects of Luseogliflozin combined with leucine-enriched amino acid supplementation and exercise in older adults with type 2 diabetes. It found a decrease in HbA1c and body weight over 52 weeks.

Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study’s main message and where it applies.

Study focus

This study investigated the effects of Luseogliflozin combined with leucine-enriched amino acid supplementation and exercise in older adults with type 2 diabetes. It found a decrease in HbA1c and body weight over 52 weeks.

Clinical relevance

These findings suggest that Luseogliflozin, when combined with exercise and dietary supplementation, can help manage blood sugar levels and weight in older adults with type 2 diabetes. This is particularly important as effective management of diabetes can reduce the risk of complications and improve overall health in this population.

Keep in mind

The study did not include a large sample size. Some outcomes did not reach statistical significance. Findings may not be generalizable to all older adults with diabetes.
