Carrying significant extra weight increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and future pregnancy complications

In the SUSTAIN 6 trial, over 3,297 patients with type 2 diabetes with established chronic kidney disease and/or cardiovascular disease underwent randomization to semaglutide or placebo and were followed for 2 years resulting in a 26% risk reduction in the combined endpoint of rate of cardiovascular disease, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke [47]

Finally, a multidisciplinary approach and future research focusing on long-term outcomes and optimal patient selection will help maximize the renal and cardiometabolic benefits of GLP-1RAs
