Impact of exercise training in combination with dapagliflozin on physical function in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus: study protocol for the Dapagliflozin, Exercise Training and physicAl function (DETA) randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are associated with weight loss, diverse cardiorenal benefits and improved glycaemic control. However, the effects of SGLT2i on physical function and fitness are uncertain. The Dapagliflozin, Exercise Training and physicAl function trial investigates whether the SGLT2i dapagliflozin, alone or in combination with structured exercise training, improves physical function compared with diet-induced weight loss in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), overweight/obesity and impaired physical function.

Methods and analysis

This single-centre randomised controlled trial will assign 1:1:1, 135 adults with T2DM and low physical function to receive one of three treatments: (1) dapagliflozin (10 mg once-daily) alon
