Interventions/Control_1

SGLT2i group

The SGLT2 inhibitor (luceogliflozin 2.5 mg) will be taken orally for 48 weeks from the start of the study.

The anti-VEGF agents (ranibizumab 0.5 mg) will be injected intravitreously as an ophthalmic treatment. First, a single intraocular injection will be administered at the start of the study, and then follow-up observations will be conducted every four weeks. Additional injections will be administered as necessary according to the continued administration criteria and relapse administration criteria below.

Interventions/Control_2

SU group

The Sulfonyl urea (glimepiride 0.5 mg) will be taken orally for 48 weeks from the start of the study.

The anti-VEGF drug ranibizumab 0.5 mg will be injected intravitreously as an ophthalmic treatment. First, a single intraocular injection will be administered at the start of the study, and then follow-up observations will be conducted every four weeks. Additional injections will be administered as necessary according to the continued administration criteria and relapse administration criteria below.
