Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate the possible protective effect of empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and not on SGLT2 inhibitors treatment.
Conditions: Diabetic Neuropathy Peripheral.
Primary outcome: Change in the electrophysiological assessment of sensory and motor nerve conduction of the lower limb extremities.; Change in HbA1c %.
Enrollment: 50 participants.
