We evaluated the effects on glycemic control and body weight of a GLP1-RA in obese type 2 diabetic patients treated with SGLT2-inhibitors and other hypoglycemic agents and/or insulin, in a real-world setting. A cohort of 583 type 2 diabetic outpatients treated with a SGLT2 inhibitor and/or other anti-diabetic medications were examined. Because patients had suboptimal glycemic control, the GLP1-RA Dulaglutide was added to ongoing medications.

In this observational, real-world, study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of the combination therapy with those two agents over glycemic control. We thus obtained the data of 1335 patients with type 2 diabetes followed by 11 Diabetes centers in Lombardia, Italy.

Methods: Based on 2019 European Society of Cardiology/European Association for the Study of Diabetes criteria for cardiovascular risk stratification in T2DM, the AWARE App classifies patients into very high (VH), high (H) and moderate (M) cardiovascular risk categories.
Dapagliflozin has been demonstrated to improve glycemic control, blood pressure, and body weight in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); indeed, it can also reduce the risk of progression to renal failure, of hospitalization for heart failure and of cardiovascular death. We aim to investigate the acute effect of Dapagliflozin on kidney function in the common clinical practice in T2D. This is a study including 1402 patients with T2D recruited from 11 centers in Lombardia, Italy, who were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with Dapagliflozin 10 mg per day.
