Clinical Trial Summary

The aim is to test in T2DM patients, whether, compared to placebo, 12 weeks of SGLT-2 inhibitor improves post-absorptive, post-insulin infusion or postprandial insulin action to enhance Cardiac Muscle vascular function and whether changes correlate with improved GV or postprandial hyperglycemia


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will study 32 T2DM subjects measuring cardiac muscle vascular function before and after a 4 hour insulin clamp ( protocol A) and before and after a mixed meal (protocol B). Then subjects will be randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 will undergo a 12 week intervention of Empagliflozin, and Group 2 will do 12 weeks of Placebo. The intervention will be single blinded. At the end of the 12 week intervention subjects will repeat protocol A and B. The study's primary objective is to assess whether, compared to placebo, 12 weeks of Empagliflozin improves post-absorptive or postprandial insulin action to enhance myocardial perfusion (MP) and whether changes of MP correlate with improved glucose variability or postprandial hyperglycemia ;
