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.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Anne, I agree, anything is possible and guessing would be the only option other than leaving it with a note. |

: Most likely. It is another 'Hemmer' for diabetes also used in German reports.

(standard?) whole-grain diet
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.
