Brief summary

Endpoint related to Objective #1: to verify the effect of SGLT-2is on HRV as shown by the difference in LF:HF ratio (a frequency domain measured as improvement of 20% in LF:HF ratio from baseline to end of treatment (6 months)., Endpoint related to Objective #2: to verify the effect of SGLT-2 on CAN progression as shown by the improvement in at least one of the three CART parameter AND an improvement in glucose variability from baseline to end of treatment (6 months)

Detailed description

to assess the results of SGLT2i treatment on pancreatic beta cell function (i.e., glucose sensitivity and insulin secretion parameters including those derived from the Mixed Meal Test (MMT)) in patients with and without CAN after 6 months intervention with SGLT2i., to assess the difference in glycemic variability expressed as mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) measured for 2 weeks flash glucose monitoring at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with SGLT-2i., to explore difference in CAN progression expressed as changes in cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs) as defined by: a) expiration/inspiration (E/I) ratio, b) 30:15 ratio and c) Valsalva ratio.
