SGLT2 inhibitors, a class of diabetes drugs, may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, and Parkinson’s disease, according to a large study. Results showed a 20% to 30% lower risk for these conditions,

Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, a class of diabetes drugs also known as gliflozins, could lower the risk for dementia and Parkinson’s disease, a new study finds.

New research shows diabetes drugs may significantly reduce the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson’s disease.

According to a new study, certain diabetes medications may significantly reduce this risk. These drugs, called gliflozins or SGLT2 inhibitors, stop the kidneys from reabsorbing too much blood glucose to improve blood sugar levels.

A specific class of diabetes drug appears to lower people's risk for dementia and Parkinson's disease, a new study shows.

Scientists found a 22 percent lower risk of any dementia and Parkinson's among a group taking SGLT2 inhibitors for type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have found that people who take a type of type 2 diabetes drugs SGLT2 inhibitors have a significantly lower risk of dementia, overall, and of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's, in particular.
