Summary
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) doubles a patient’s risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with T2D. The 2023 ADA guidelines now recommend consideration of GLP-1 RAs in patients with T2D and ASCVD or indicators of ASCVD risk, independently of A1C and metformin use. In this episode, Dr. Pam Taub reviews recent updates in the cardiovascular benefits and appropriate use of GLP-1 receptor agonists for managing patients with T2D.

Learning Objectives

Incorporate early use of GLP-1 RA therapy in appropriate patients with T2D using a holistic approach, considering administration route and optimal dosing
Overcome barriers to GLP-1 RA uptake and medication adherence in T2D through patient counseling to manage adverse effects
