Several new classes of antidiabetic agents can improve various cardiovascular risk factors, including<br \/>\nweight, blood pressure and lipid profile, in addition to lowering blood glucose levels. Cardiovascular outcome<br \/>\nstudies to date support the safety of three dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, one glucagon-like<br \/>\npeptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and one sodium\u2013glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor in people with<br \/>\ntype 2 diabetes. Specific cardiovascular benefits of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists over standard<br \/>\ndiabetes therapy have not yet been demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p><em>Modern Medicine &#8211; March 2017<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Type 2 Diabetes Drugs and Their Cardiovascular Effects &#8211; MM1703 Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, morbidity and hospitalisation in people with type&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_content":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_code":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5REYo-o8","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1496"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1496\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1497,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1496\/revisions\/1497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
