Summary

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a syndrome of metabolic dysregulation that needs a multifactorial behavioral and pharmacological treatments to prevent or delay complications, morbidity and mortality. Uncontrolled hyperglycemia can be negatively affecting the patient's physical and psychological status and thus lower the patient's quality of life (QoL) (Verma \& Dadarwal, 2017)(Vanstone et al., 2015)(Gebremedhin et al., 2019). According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), when hyperglycaemia remain uncontrolled (HbA1c ≥1.5% above the glycemic target), a second therapy for T2DM is needed (Davies et al., 2022).

It has been certained by ADA, beside the glucose lowering effect the add-on antidibetic medication should have an impact on weight management to achieve and maintain the optimum glycemic and weight control which are the goals in people without established cardiorenal risks (Vijan et al., 2014((Inzucchi et al., 2012). Although metformin still the first-line pharmacotherapy in most T2DM patients, according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) (Association, 2020) but has little or even weight neutral effect, as well as gliptins (Hermansen \& Mortensen, 2007)(Sazan et al., 2012). Other old antidibetic classes such as thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and sulfonylureas (SUs) inspite of their efficacy in controlling glycemia but their use is associated with weight gain and other adverse effects (Derosa \& Maffioli, 2010)(Najim et al., 2014)(Fonseca, 2003). However, The newest class of antidibetic drugs, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), are approved for the treatment of T2DM as add-on or even initial therapy (Tamez-Pérez et al., 2013). This class is act by inducing glycosuria and thus improving glycemic status without affecting insulin level (Merovci et al., 2015). Dapagliflozin is a highly selective inhibitor of SGLT2. It has been well tolerated and its safety and efficacy approved in the clinical trials, mostly on cardio-renal outcomes with additional benefits of weight loss and low risk of hypoglycemia (Heerspink et al., 2020)(Solomon et al., 2022)(Wiviott et al., 2019)(McMurray et al., 2019). To date, no clinical data regarding SGLT2i recorded in Iraqi patients with limited data available on Arabic population. On Qatari, assessment of Dapagliflozin effectiveness revealed a significant improvement in the glycemic status after 6 months when used in combination with standard therapy, a reduction (Al AdAwi et al., 2019). In Saudi Arabia, Dapagliflozin was found to be well-tolerated and effective treatment option for T2DM patients after 6 months (Alguwaihes, 2021).
