Excerpt

To the Editor: Lin and colleagues performed a real-world study [1] aiming to evaluate the risks of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in people with diabetes treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) vs sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is). The authors concluded that in people with diabetes, GLP1RAs were associated with significantly reduced risks of major adverse limb events (MALE) compared with SGLT2is. Moreover, this relative effectiveness was especially obvious in patients with diabetic neuropathy [1]. These findings are interesting and clinically relevant, but we want to share some additional comments. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
