Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of sodium-glucose contransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1RA) use among adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in the United States. Methods: We studied adults with T2D and eGFR ≥30mL/min/1.73m2 who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) , focusing on the 2017-2020 examination cycle. We tested prevalence of SGLT2i and GLP1RA use among subgroups based on demographic variables and relevant comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD) , congestive heart failure (CHF) , and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) . We compared use of SGLT2i and GLP1RA to other glucose-lowering medications and assessed trends from prior NHANES cycles. Results: Among 1,375 participants studied in 2017-2020, mean age was 60 years, 46% were women, 13% self-identified as non-Hispanic Black, 10% self-identified as Mexican American, 37% had CKD, 8.5% had CHF, and 23% had ASCVD. The prevalence of SGLT2i and GLP1RA use was 5.8% and 4.4%, respectively. SGLT2i were used by 7.2% of adults with CKD or CHF, and GLP1RA were used by 3.5% of adults with ASCVD. Differences in SGLT2i or GLP1RA use were observed by age, race, ethnicity, and health insurance status. Biguanides, sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, and insulin were used more frequently than SGLT2i or GLP1RA. Overall, prevalence of SGLT2i but not GLP1RA use increased significantly from 2013-2014 to 2017-2020. Conclusions: SGLT2i and GLP1RA use is low among adults with T2D, including among those with strong indications. Enhanced implementation of these agents is crucial to improving kidney and cardiovascular outcomes and mitigating health disparities in T2D. Disclosure C.Limonte: None. Y.Hall: None.
