Topics:

  • 00:01 Intro
  • 00:40 What percentage does CVD risk increase by  for the T2D patient?
  • 04:29 What is the underlying mechanism at play here?
  • 05:35 Helping to mitigate this risk?
  • 07:33 Universal screening - how often?
  • 11:39 SGLT2i/GLP1RA - What is the data supporting their use?
  • 16:40 Is the trial data correct?
  • 17:49 CVD risk reduction - which class is most beneficial?
  • 19:10 Monitoring – what to be aware of?
  • 22:13 Sick day management – criteria for stopping and starting?
  • 23:24 Take-home messages

 

Take-home messages

  • Not all patients with T2D have the same high level of CVD risk.
  • Use the updated CVD risk prediction tool.
  • Use either SGLT2i or the GLP1RA early in T2D patients with CVD risk above 15%
  • Blood pressure reduction (ABCD memory aid)
  • Patient education a support is key.
