Abstract

The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes have briefly updated their 2018 recommendations on management of hyperglycemia, based on important research findings from large cardiovascular outcomes trials published in 2019. Important changes include: 1) the decision to treat high-risk individuals with a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist or sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), hospitalization for heart failure (hHF), cardiovascular death, or chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression should be considered independently of baseline HbA1c or individualized HbA1c target; 2) GLP-1 receptor agonists can also be considered in patients with type 2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease (CVD) but with the presence of specific indicators of high risk; and 3) SGLT2 inhibitors are recommended in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure, particularly those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, to reduce hHF, MACE, and CVD death, as well as in patients with type 2 diabetes with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate 30 to ≤60 mL min–1 [1.73 m]–2 or urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g, particularly >300 mg/g) to prevent the progression of CKD, hHF, MACE, and cardiovascular death.

  • Numerous rigorous clinical trials demonstrated large kidney and cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2i, and SGLT2i became an established first-line treatment for T2D with CKD.

    “During the time between initiation and completion of the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD trials, numerous rigorous clinical trials demonstrated large kidney and cardiovascular bene fi ts of SGLT2i (Section 1.3 above), and SGLT2i became an established fi rst-line treatment for T2D with CKD.”

    From KDIGO 2022 Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in Chronic Kidney Disease (2022) · cites this paper as [143]

    The Abstract reports renal and cardiovascular benefits from SGLT2-inhibitor trials and recommends SGLT2 inhibitors for people with type 2 diabetes and CKD. It does not call them a first-line treatment, and it says the benefits are less well established for lesser grades of CKD. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • The prioritization of SGLT2i therapy in high-risk patients such as those with CKD is consistent with the recommendations from other professional societies including the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the joint statement by the ADA and the European Association of the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and the joint guideline by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and EASD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
