Improving cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes
25 May 2022

NICE advises that in patients whose QRISK2 score is 10% or higher and those with established CVD, an SGLT2 inhibitor should be used early on. For those patients initially assessed as not having established CVD or a QRISK2 score of 10% or higher, at each assessment two factors should be considered: if the HbA1c target has been achieved and whether their CVD risk has changed.
