Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the biggest cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.1 Individual drugs from two classes of glucose-lowering agents, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, have been shown in recent clinical trials to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular disease. These new data are reflected in guidelines from several professional associations, but not in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines in the UK.2 We believe that NICE and other national and international health authorities should respond rapidly to new data, particularly when there is potential to improve outcomes and save lives.
