The Use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in Thailand: Evidence Review and Recommendations
2021
Background: Cardiovascular (CV) and renal comorbidities are common among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, and significantly increase the cost and burden of care. Both sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) improve key outcomes including major CV events, hospitalization for heart failure, and renal outcomes, albeit to varying degrees in different T2D populations. Materials and Methods: The authors reviewed evidence from GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i CV outcomes trials and real-world studies in Thailand and elsewhere. Results: The authors formulated recommendations to guide selection of anti-diabetes medication based on patients’ clinical characteristics and CV or renal risk profile. Conclusion: These recommendations could help guide management of CV/renal comorbidities and risk alongside glucose-lowering therapy for individual patients.
