AbstractThe landscape of diabetes treatment has evolved significantly in recent years. While metformin remains first-line for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, 2 new classes of medications (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide agonists) are becoming mainstays in therapy. These classes boast strong efficacy and desired long-term outcomes, offering cardiovascular and renal protection, as well as other benefits such as weight loss and low risk of hypoglycemia. Most recent guidelines have highlighted the importance of using shared decision making and patient-centered choices when determining medication outcomes.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
