This meeting comprised two sessions: the morning session centred around glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors, a new class of glucose-lowering compounds, while the afternoon session focused on new results of cardiovascular safety studies with diabetes medications, with special attention to the SAVOR-TIMI trial of saxagliptin.
