NEW ORLEANS — In this video, Philip D. Home, DM, DPhil, MRCP, of Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, discusses updates in research involving glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors that were presented at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.
Home mentions how there were discussions at the meeting that looked at what kind of mechanisms might have been behind why ketoacidosis might occur in patients with type 1 diabetes who use SGLT2 inhibitors off-label.
He also discusses how data indicated that the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists reduced weight gain as well as hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.
