The trial data presented by William V Tamborlane and colleagues, evaluating the effects of a novel adjunctive type 2 diabetes medication in young people (aged 18–24), provide an important therapeutic insight into this burgeoning, high-risk, and understudied population. 1 Nearly 14 million people younger than 19 years in the USA have obesity and are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. 2 Rising rates of obesity and other metabolic conditions are projected to increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes in young people by 600% between 2017 and 2060. 2, 3 The more severe metabolic phenotype observed in young people versus adults with type 2 diabetes, including greater insulin resistance and more rapid deterioration of pancreatic β-cell function, 4 increases their risk of the microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. 5 Kidney biopsy samples obtained from Pima Indians with type 2 diabetes show more severe kidney structural lesions in young people than in adults with type 2 diabetes irrespective of age at biopsy and diabetes duration. 6 Despite the burden of complications in type 2 diabetes in young people, current therapeutic options for this population are scarce.SGLT2 inhibitors are highly effective therapies that reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes, 7 but these medications are not approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration for people younger than 18 years. The Treatment Options for T2D in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) and Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) trials have shown differing physiology in adult-onset vs. youth-onset type 2 diabetes, indicating that dedicated clinical trials in young people with type 2 diabetes are needed. 4 Tamborlane and colleagues1 presented data from the first placebo-controlled, randomised, phase 3 trial of the
