Patent Summary

A pharmaceutical composition for preventing, treating, or reducing the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes, comprising an SGLT2 inhibitor and an insulin, administered in combination or alternation. The composition is particularly effective in patients with type 1 diabetes, where it can reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and improve glycemic control. The SGLT2 inhibitor works by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, while the insulin provides glucose-lowering effects. The combination of the two can prolong the duration of insulin efficacy, reduce the required insulin dose, and prevent or delay the progression of diabetes complications.
