[GLP-1 receptor agonists versus SGLT-2 inhibitors in obese type 2 diabetes patients].

Who never had a type 2 obese diabetic patient, treated by several oral antidiabetic drugs and insulin, with consequent weight gain associated with the therapeutic escalation and uncontrolled diabetes? The arrival of GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors allows to reevaluate the management of these patients, with their favorable effects on glycemic control, weight and the risk of hypoglycemia and their complementary mechanisms to conventional treatments. The vicious cycle of weight gain and increased need of insulin is limited. The choice between these two molecules must be based on several factors (glycemic target, weight, comorbidities, route of administration, side effects, etc.), and the balanced enthusiasm of these new treatments with the insufficient data regarding their long-term safety and their impact on micro- and macrovascular complications.
