Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity is increasing. Research has demonstrated the use of GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2i medications to be safe and effective for the long-term management of T2DM and obesity. As continued research supports the use of GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2i medications for additional indications, home care clinicians will increasingly care for patients on these medications. It is imperative that home care clinicians are aware of patient indications, adverse effects, and potential safety considerations related to these drugs to ensure patient goals are met.
