In a case discussion on Type 2 Diabetes, a comprehensive approach involves analyzing the patient's medical history, lifestyle factors, and glycemic control. Evaluating comorbidities, complications, and individualized treatment plans, including pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modifications, is essential. Discussions may revolve around optimizing glycemic targets, addressing cardiovascular risk factors, and promoting patient education for effective self-management. The multidisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals ensures a holistic strategy to manage Type 2 Diabetes, emphasizing personalized care and long-term health outcomes.

  • The presentation focused on a 360-degree approach to diabetes management, emphasizing metabolic care beyond just glycemic control. The discussion began with a case study of a 53-year-old type 2 diabetic with hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia. The speaker highlighted the importance of addressing all these aspects in addition to diabetes.
  • The presentation addressed the concept of "diabesity," the combination of diabetes and obesity, recognized as a major health concern. Weight loss, even a modest 5-7%, can significantly improve blood sugar levels and overall health. Lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are crucial but often challenging for patients to maintain long-term.
  • The presenter then reviewed the role of SGLT2 inhibitors, such as Dapaflazin, in managing obese diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors promote glucose excretion through urine, leading to weight loss and blood pressure reduction, with a lower risk of hypoglycemia. SGLT2 inhibitors have shown benefits in cardiovascular and renal outcomes.
  • The speaker also highlighted the relationship between diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), emphasizing the need for risk stratification and monitoring. SGLT2 inhibitors can help manage NAFLD by reducing hepatic inflammation and improving glycemic control.
  • Cardiovascular risk assessment in diabetic patients is crucial, with tools like the Q risk 3 score and ASCVD risk calculator available. The presentation also addressed the high prevalence of heart failure and diabetic kidney disease in diabetic patients, emphasizing the need for early identification and intervention.
  • The presentation concluded with a recommendation for combination therapy using dapaflazin and metformin to improve glycemic control, promote weight loss, and reduce cardiovascular events. The speaker underscored the importance of personalized treatment based on individual patient characteristics and comorbidities for better patient outcomes.
