Consensus Statement by the AACE/ACE on the Comprehensive Type 2 Diabetes Management Algorithm

View statement

aAccording to the ADA, “proven CVD benefit” means it has a label indication of reducing CVD events.1  

GLP-1 RA=glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist; CVD=cardiovascular disease; ADA=American Diabetes Association.

GLP-1 RA icon

In patients with established ASCVD,b the use of a GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i with demonstrated CVD benefita should be considered independently of baseline A1C or individual A1C target.1-5,c  


A GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i is recommended for initial therapy in patients with T2D with or at high risk for ASCVD regardless of treatment with metformin.1

bThe ACC defines ASCVD as: a history of an acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction (MI), stable or unstable angina, coronary heart disease with or without revascularization, other arterial revascularization, stroke, or peripheral artery disease assumed to be atherosclerotic in origin.2  

cPlease refer to the 2022 ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, the 2020 AACE/ACE Consensus Statement, the 2020 AHA Scientific Statement on Cardiorenal Protection With the Newer Antidiabetic Agents, the 2020 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway, or the 2021 AHA/ASA Guideline for the Prevention of Stroke in Patients With Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack.

 

ASCVD=atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; SGLT-2i=sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor; ACC=American College of Cardiology; AHA=American Heart Association; ASA=American Stroke Association.
