This multicenter, open-label, prospective study randomized 46 drug-naïve adults with T2D (HbA1c 6.5%-10.0%) to receive empagliflozin (10 mg/day) or metformin (1,000 mg/day) for 12 weeks.

mean amplitude of glucose excursion (MAGE)
MAGE is a key glucose variability index that assesses the amplitude of clinically relevant glucose fluctuations and is calculated as the mean of the differences between consecutive glucose nadirs and peaks that exceed one standard deviation (SD) above or below the mean glucose level

Empagliflozin therapy
The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of early treatment with empagliflozin in reducing GV, as measured by the change in MAGE from baseline to Week 12, compared to metformin.
