SGLT2 inhibitor vs GLP-1 RA: Which is better for CKD patients with diabetes?

08 Apr 2026

Initiation of an SGLT2 inhibitor, relative to a GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA), results in a lower risk of adverse kidney events among patients with stage 2 diabetes and stage 4‒5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), with similar cardiovascular and mortality risks, a study has shown.

GLP-1 RAs may deter substance addiction, SUD-related adverse outcomes

07 Apr 2026 by

Initiation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) results in a lower risk of developing various incident substance use disorders (SUDs), suggests a study involving US veterans with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Its use also protects against adverse clinical outcome in people with pre-existing SUDs.
