Abstract Background Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. Aim To investigate the impact of sodium-glucose 2 co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in Romanian patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method A retrospective study was conducted on 200 Romanian patients with T2DM who were being treated with SGLT-2i, either Dapagliflozin or Empagliflozin. Collected data included demographic characteristics, such as weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), creatinine, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), abdominal circumference (AC), urine albumin-to‐creatinine ratio (UACR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). The patients were observed for one year after being treated with SGLT-2i. Results The mean value of FBG decreased from 180.00 mg% (IQR: 154.50–207.00) to 130.00 mg% (IQR: 117.50–150.00) (p
