Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive disease. Over time, many patients with T2D will need multiple drugs to manage their disease. Long-term efficacy is important for achieving treatment goals, such as blood sugar control and weight loss. The amount of time that different types of diabetes drugs remain effective varies. This study used real-world data to compare two distinct types of diabetes drugs, semaglutide and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is). We looked at how blood sugar control and body weight changed with each drug after 2 years of use. We also compared how many patients needed to start using new drugs to meet their treatment goals and the odds that a patient would need to start using new drugs. Semaglutide was better than DPP4i in reducing both blood sugar levels and body weight. Patients had over two times the odds of meeting target blood sugar levels with semaglutide. Fewer patients needed to start using new drugs with semaglutide, and patients were 43% less likely to start using new drugs to lower blood sugar than patients taking DPP4is.
