Type 2 Diabetes | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2021

Metformin and sulfonylureas are the most heavily prescribed type 2 diabetes (T2D) drugs and dominate the early lines of therapy before disease progression requires insulin replacement. The emergence of more-effective, safer, and better-tolerated therapies, such as the sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT- 2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, have provided physicians with a broad array of therapeutic options. Moreover, with a better understanding of T2D and its complications, individualization of treatment is becoming more common. Numerous branded agents from both established and recently emergent classes are now jostling for position in the treatment paradigm.
