( Figure 5 ) Briefly, SGLT2i inhibits the SGLT receptors in the proximal tubule, which inhibits the reabsorption of glucose from primary urine, resulting in glycosuria and a decrease in HbA1c and fasting glucose levels ( Figure 5 Clinical implications Given the significant cardioprotective effect of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs, the ADA guidelines state that all diabetic patients with confirmed or subclinical cardiovascular disease should be prescribed a GLP-1RA class or SGLT2i class with proven cardiovascular benefit, regardless of the patients HbA1c level or the presence of other glucose-lowering medications ( Strengths and limitations To the best of our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis to assess the effects of SGLT2i and GLP-1RAs as first-line therapeutic agents in T2DM patients with low cardiovascular disease risk
freezing can cause irreversible peptide aggregation Avoid temperature fluctuations do not repeatedly remove the vial from and return it to the fridge If a temperature excursion occurs (e.g., the fridge fails or the vial is left out), do not attempt to judge suitability yourself contact your trial team or dispensing pharmacy immediately for advice before using the preparation If transport is required , use only sponsor-provided or validated cool carriers
