Studies showed up to 38% relative risk reduction in kidney disease progression in patients with T2DM and chronic kidney disease (CKD)!
*Adding an SGLT2i is independent of A1c or metformin use.*

Note: it’s essential to continue recommending and encouraging lifestyle modifications, diabetes self-management and support (DSMES), and ensuring adherence to the use of an ACEi or ARB when counseling patients.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your knowledge 📚 or better support your patients 🩺, our expert team is here to provide pharmacotherapy guidance every step of the way. Tune in with Dima for a quick and concise overview 🕒 on implementing SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T2DM and CKD. The evidence and algorithms included are not only some of our favorite talking points 💬 but also some of the most groundbreaking studies 🔬 in the field over the years.

Did you know? 🌟 GLP1-RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors c

Did you know? 🌟 GLP1-RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors can reduce the risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) by 13% and 12%, respectively, in patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for or have established ASCVD. Pivotal Cardiovascular Outcome Trials (CVOTs) like LEADER, SUSTAIN-6, REWIND, and the groundbreaking EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial have shown just how beneficial these treatments can be! 💊💓

EMPA-REG OUTCOME was the first to prove the cardioprotective benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin, creating this paradigm shift in diabetes care. 🩺

❓QUIZ TIME: In patients with T2DM + CKD, would you recommend a GLP1-RA or an SGLT2i first?
