Emerging therapies and comparative studies are reshaping diabetes and metabolic disease management. Empagliflozin demonstrates significant cardiovascular and renal benefits in obese type 2 diabetes patients. Investigations comparing SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists refine understanding of their differential impacts on kidney and metabolic outcomes. Concurrently, research into basal insulin preferences across multiple countries informs patient-centered treatment strategies. These findings contribute to optimizing therapeutic protocols in metabolic care.
