Abstract :
[en] Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors (gliflozins), which demonstrated a cardiovascular and renal protection, have profoundly changed the management of patients with type 2 diabetes who are at cardiovascular risk. Nowadays, these antidiabetic medications occupy a preferred position, independently of glucose control. This has been emphasized in the last guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the joint consensus by the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ADA-EASD), both published in 2020. Nevertheless, there are some discrepancies between the two points of view, especially concerning the definition of the patient at cardiovascular risk in primary prevention and the first-choice place still to be reserved to metformin in these patients.
