Purpose Of Review: This review will serve to highlight the clinical rationale used in the selection of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ra).
Recent Findings: SGLT2-i and GLP1-ra are the first anti-hyperglycemics to demonstrate significant cardiovascular benefit in multiple cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs), with benefits that are consistent across class of medication. Diabetes is a major risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-ra) are the first anti-hyperglycemics to demonstrate significant cardiovascular benefit. Given the unique side effect and benefit profiles, appropriate consideration of these agents with a focus on cardiovascular risk reduction requires an individualized approach.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel antidiabetics, namely, sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA), in diabetic kidney transplant recipients. Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Clinicaltrials.gov were systematically searched from inception until 25 August 2024.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a common glomerulonephritis, but its treatment remains matter of debate. Recommendation for corticosteroids has been supported, but renin-angiotensin inhibitors, RAAS, and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are increasingly used because of a better benefit/safety balance in comparison with systemic steroids and immunosuppressive treatments. In this case report, a patient with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and biopsy-proven nephrotic IgA-related nephropathy documented a rapid meaningful reduction of proteinuria and the effect was persistent for 2 years, after receiving the treatment with a GLP1-RA on top of the previous treatment with ACE-inhibitors and SGLT2-i.

Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease characterized by an excess of adipose tissue, affecting people of all ages. In the last 40 years, the incidence of overweight and obesity almost tripled worldwide. The accumulation of "visceral" adipose tissue increases with aging, leading to several cardio-metabolic consequences: from increased blood pressure to overt arterial hypertension, from insulin-resistance to overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and obstructive sleep apnea.

Aims: To evaluate the impact of adherence to glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) and sodium-glucose transporter two inhibitors (SGLT2-I) on clinical outcomes and costs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials And Methods: The 121,115 residents of the Lombardy Region (Italy) aged ≥40 years newly treated with metformin during 2007-2015 were followed to identify those who started therapy with GLP1-RA or SGLT2-I. Adherence to drug therapy over the first year was defined as the proportion of days covered >80%.

Objectives: The cardiorenal protective effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-Is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) across racial and ethnic groups are not well defined. By conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomised, placebo-controlled, cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes trials (CVOTs), we aimed to compare racial/ethnic as well as regional patterns in the effects of SGLT2-Is and GLP1-RAs on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Design: Trials were identified from MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and search of bibliographies to 7 July 2023.
