Changes in blood sugar control and weight in obese and non-obese adults with type 2 diabetes treated with SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists

Updated

Abstract

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share mechanisms that affect glucose metabolism and insulin resistance.

  • SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are recommended for overweight or obese patients with T2DM due to beneficial effects.
  • The influence of baseline obesity on the glycemic response to these treatments in real-world settings is uncertain.
  • Further research may be needed to clarify the relationship between obesity and the effectiveness of these diabetes medications.
