Both my endocrinologist and nephrologist also agree with the NKF that the science is there, and SGLT2 inhibitors do help with the delay of severe CKD. But not all do agree this works for everyone. There are so many side effects of these drugs that the opposite can be true. I was put on the diabetic dose of 5MG of Farxiga two different times, and each time went to Stage 4 from 3A within a matter of a few months. Since I was a computer teacher, I created a spreadsheet showing my eGFR trend with and without Farxiga, and my Mayo nephrologist thanked me for providing this. Both times, I returned back to Stage 3A after stopping. So if you are following your physicians' instructions, be diligent and always watch your eGfR or Cystatin C trend. With drugs having multiple side effects, you must be your own advocate.
