Abstract :
[en] After failure of a monotherapy with metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (gliptins) and sodium-glucose cotransporters type 2 (gliflozins) offer an alternative to the add-on of a sulphonylurea, especially in diabetic patients at risk of hypoglycaemia. The choice between a gliptin and a gliflozin may be guided by the individual patient characteristics : rather a gliptin in a patient without obesity or severe hyperglycaemia, in an elderly patient, with a frailty profile or with renal impairment; rather a gliflozin in an obese patient, with hypertension, hyperuricaemia, antecedents of cardiovascular disease (especially heart failure), without advanced renal insufficiency and with a low risk of urinary/genital infections or events linked to dehydration such as hypotension.
