STWGD

Medical - Medical (general) / diabetes
German term or phrase: STWGD
Der diabetes mellitus des patienten war unter STWGD und DPP-IV-Hemmer komplikationlos zu fuehren.

English translation:SGLT[2]
Explanation:
Just guessing - a doctor mixing up or mixmumbling those complicated letters and/or a typist mis-hearing some letters... SGLT2 inhibitors plus DDP-IV inhibitors would be a plausible combination for diabetes management.

Whatever it is, STWGD is no standard or common abbreviation in medspeak, and you might as well add a translator's note and not worry too much about it.

(standard?) whole-grain diet


Explanation:

I’m fairly sure the WGD stands for “whole-grain diet”. I’m just not sure about the ST part.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6484048/

Previous studies have reported that whole grain intake alleviated various metabolic syndromes. Here, the hypoglycemic effect of whole grain diet (WGD) on type II diabetes was investigated in C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice.


The above study was in mice, but whole-grain diet is also used in the context of humans:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5930046/

A Whole-Grain Diet Reduces Peripheral Insulin Resistance and Improves Glucose Kinetics in Obese Adults: A Randomized-Controlled Trial

Purpose

We tested the hypothesis that a WG diet reduces insulin resistance and improves glucose use in individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes compared with an isocaloric-matched refined-grain diet.
