Do you recommend avoiding SGLT2i use for patients with proteinuria from diabetic kidney disease if they have urinary retention requiring catheterization?

I would probably avoid SGLT-2 in such a patient because of the risk of infection. Likely, the risk is not worth the benefit.

The benefits of SGLT-2 are greater than the risks in this situation, and therefore, I don’t hold them back!
