Type 2 diabetes features progressive hyperglycaemia and imposes a considerable burden due to chronicity and multi-organ complications. Early intervention through weight loss is crucial to improve blood glucose levels and cardiometabolic health and to mitigate complications.
During the last four decades, the number of available diabetes treatments has more than tripled. Accordingly, clinical guidelines for type 2 diabetes management have evolved from approaches focusing on glycaemic control to more holistic and individualised approaches.
