According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria stated below, the patients will be evaluated and the data of the patients admitted to the study will be analyzed. The triglyceride glucose index of the patients before starting the SGLT-2 injection and the trig/glucose index at the end of 3 months of treatment will be calculated by the researchers using the data in the system.
