Welcome to our case study video featuring Prof. Scott Issacs, where we delve into the management of a complex case involving a 56-year-old patient with a seven-year history of type 2 diabetes, initially preceded by prediabetes.
Prof. Issacs explores holistic strategies, including lifestyle changes and pharmacotherapy [Metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), GLP-1/ glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists, Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor, SGLT2 inhibitor, Insulin and Thiazolidinediones) to improve patient outcomes.
This case underscores the critical need for a comprehensive approach to managing diabetes and related cardiometabolic disorders, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
