Abstract

Recent cardiovascular safety trials on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have demonstrated the significant cardiovascular and renal benefits of these medications. Diabetes organisations have revised their medication guidelines to include a focus on disease outcomes for cardiovascular disease, heart failure and renal disease. This article summarises latest evidence, guideline recommendations and current Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme requirements.
