GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2is were found to exert striking benefits on the heart, liver, kidney, and even the brain [34,35,36,37,38,39,40]. Emerging research indicates that these benefits are conferred by pleiotropic mechanisms, that is, pathways distinct from those involved in gluc...
Moreover, pathophysiology-based treatment with glucagonlike peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists and Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is being investigated and will likely increase the pharmaceutical options available for adolescents with type ...

Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are associated with an increased risk of DKA in people who are unwell. SGLT2 inhibitors can have severe adverse effects in acute sickness during Covid-19, and modification of medication is advised (Boulton...
Many state governments are ensuring that GDMT (Ace inhibitors, Beta-blockers, MRA and SGLT2 inhibitors) is free of cost at the primary care level. Generic medication availability has decreased treatment costs. Adherence to therapy can improve only if HF care teams are established, clear protocols...
Other people who can potentially go into ketoacidosis are those with type 2 diabetes who take medications known as SGLT-2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and ertugliflozin. Also, in rare cases, women who don’t have diabetes can develop ketoacidosis while breastfeedin...
if a patient's blood pressure is elevated because of obesity, for example, and medication is prescribed but doesn't work, it could also be due to the narrowing of the blood vessels in the heart. That's why it's important to look for independent factors other than obesity in the treatmen...
You may need to monitor your blood sugar if you havehypoglycemia(low blood sugar) linked to medication use or an underlying health condition, such asAddison's disease. Regular blood sugar monitoring is generally not necessary in healthy people without diabetes. They should, however, get their blo...
The main potential danger regards medications, where doses may need to be adapted. In particular, insulin doses may need to be lowered to avoid low blood sugar, and SGLT2 inhibitors may need to be de-prescribed.Learn more Discuss any changes in medication and relevant lifestyle changes with...
As seen at the aggregate level, budget caps at the pharmaceutical or medication level that incorporated considerations for changes in prevalence reduced the potential for negative consequences. There was considerable variability in the observed changes in prevalence, disease burden, and costs among conditi...
