    AbstractA comprehensive review of the literature on DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors has resulted in small changes to the medication roadmap of the type 2 diabetes mellitus standard of the Dutch College of General Practitioners. SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists may have benefits related to cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high cardiovascular risk, especially in those who have experienced a cardiovascular event. However, ascribing effectiveness related to cardiovascular outcomes on the basis of a single cardiovascular safety trial is premature. Metformin, sulfonylurea derivatives and insulin are still the cornerstone of type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment in primary care.
