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. Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Cardiovascular diseases; Chronic kidney disease; Clinical outcomes; SGLT2i; GLP-1 RA

This article is dedicated to the problem of glycaemic durability of drugs used in treatment of type 2 diabetes. The results of studies comparing durability of glycemic control as monotherapy or in combination of metformin with different drugs: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sulfonylurea, inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 are shown. The article discusses the results of original research and meta-analysis.
