Diabetology is a continuously evolving discipline, many molecules are developed, and treatment recommendations change regularly according to the latest published studies. After lifestyle measures that must always be preferred before any drug, metformin remains the pharmacological basis of treatment. Current recommendations favor the introduction of an SGLT2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist after metformin because these molecules have shown beneficial cardiovascular and renal effects. The place of the dual GLP-1/GIP agonist is not defined yet. This article guides the physician to choose the most suitable pharmacological treatment for each patient, in the light of the 2024 novelties in the field of diabetes.
