Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in patients with type 2 diabetes. This served as the basis for the development of fundamentally new approaches to glucose-lowering therapy. In addition to glycemic control, early correction of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity is important in minimizing the risk of late complications of diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have emerged as a promising therapeutic class based on incretin therapy that regulates glucose metabolism through a variety of mechanisms. The pathogenetic approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes suggests the greatest validity in the appointment of this therapy (including semaglutide) and at the earliest stages of the disease.
