Authors' conclusion

These results further suggest potential importance of IGF biology in the risk for cardio-renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes. SGLT2 inhibition has no impact on the biology of IGF despite its significant influence on outcomes.

Log IGFBP-3 and clinical outcomes

Elevations in log IGFBP-3 did not associate with any clinical outcomes

Effect of canagliflozin on IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 · 3 years

Canagliflozin did not significantly change IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations
P > 0.05

eGFR at baseline

Elevated IGF-1 associated with lower glomerular filtration rate
