Recommendation 4 11/2016 4. In adults with type 2 diabetes with clinical cardiovascular disease in whom glycemic targets are not met, an antihyperglycemic agent with demonstrated cardiovascular outcome benefit should be added to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (Grade 1, Level 1A for empagliflozin ;; Grade 1, Level 1A for liraglutide if age 50 years;; Grade D, Consensus for liraglutide if age <50 years).

Application to our Case Vignette: Treatment Plan(s)* Reduce CV outcomes Improve glycemic control Consider implications with PAD Consider other factors: Comfort with injectables Coverage Interaction with current meds Patient/physician preference Pathway: Patient has private insurance plan Motivated to prevent further CV risk Add empagliflozin or liraglutide as per Diabetes Canada guidelines Avoid canagliflozin due to history of PAD All other meds adequate for CV protection Pathway: low egfr Consider liraglutide for CV protection to follow Diabetes Canada guidelines as egfr <60 ml/min Empagliflozin and canagliflozin should not be initiated in patients with an egfr <60 ml/min For patients already on empagliflozin, if egfr falls between 45-60 ml/min, no dose adjustment but close monitoring of renal function is required For patients already on canagliflozin, if egfr falls between 45-60 ml/min, the dose should be reduced to 100 mg daily Avoid canagliflozin due to history of PAD NOTE: Jake should be taken off DPP- 4 inhibitor therapy (linagliptin) if adding a GLP- 1RA (liraglutide). *Note that pathway options are based on Diabetes Canada s most recent interim guideline update (CDA Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee.
