Summary

This trial aims to treat newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes patients with dapagliflozin or metformin. Dapagliflozin helps reduce kidney pressure and size by removing sugar through urine, while metformin controls blood sugar levels. The goal is to see if dapagliflozin can better protect the kidneys compared to metformin. Dapagliflozin was initially developed for type 2 diabetes and has shown benefits in reducing heart and kidney problems.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Dapagliflozin/NormofiltrationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with eGFR below 124 ml/min per 1.73 m2 will be randomized to dapagliflozin, 5 mg/day. After 2 weeks (Visit 5), dapagliflozin will be increased to 10 mg/day, Subjects who are taking Metformin at time of randomization will have add Dapagliflozin added to current metformin.
Group II: Dapagliflozin/HyperfiltrationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with eGFR above 125 ml/min per 1.73 m2 will be randomized to dapagliflozin, 5 mg/day. After 2 weeks (Visit 5), dapagliflozin will be increased to 10 mg/day, Subjects who are taking Metformin at time of randomization will have Dapagliflozin added to current metformin.
Group III: Metformin/HyperfiltrationActive Control2 Interventions
Subjects who Drug naïve we will give Metformin- XR, 1000 mg/day. After 2 weeks (Visit 5), metformin will be increased to 1000 mg bid (twice a day).Subject who are on metformin at time of randomization we will add Glipizide 5 mg( to be increased to 10 mg at Visit 5), Subject who are on Glipizide at time of randomization will have Metformin- XR, 1000 mg/day added. After 2 weeks (Visit 5), metformin will be increased to 1000 mg bid (twice a day).
