*This meta-analysis includes studies with diverse populations, interventions, and outcomes, which may affect the consistency of the findings. Differences in study design and methods could impact the reliability of treatment effects and limit the generalizability of the conclusions. As this meta-analysis is not based on head-to-head comparisons, caution is advised when interpreting the overall results.1
†PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science (from database inception to June 24, 2023) were searched for randomised controlled studies, published in English, that enrolled individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with tirzepatide, iGlarLixi, iDegLira, GLP-1 RA plus SGLT2i combination, or high-dose GLP-1 RA (dulaglutide 3 mg and 4.5 mg, semaglutide 2 mg) compared with placebo or active comparators.1

In patients with diabetes for fewer than 10 years, all dosages of tirzepatide achieved the greatest reductions in HbA1c compared with other incretin-based strategies.1,*
Tirzepatide's role in early-stage Type 2 diabetes
Patient with
early-stage type 2 diabetes
(diagnosed within 10 years)
HbA1c
The network meta-analysis suggested that tirzepatide should beconsidered in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes (diagnosedwithin 10 years) to exploit its unparalleled weight-lowering effectthat could be beneficial for restoring insulin secretion and action.1,§
How do these data from the meta-analysis linkwith clinical practice recommendations?
Individualizing carein type 2 diabetes3
CONCLUSION
In patients with BMI ≥30 kg/m2, tirzepatide 15 mg and 10 mg, followed by iDegLira and tirzepatide 5 mg, achieved the greatest HbA1c reduction.1,*
Target reductions in bothHbA1c and body weight4
Individualized and person-centered care is recommended by the ADA/EASD Consensus to help patients integrate diabetes care into their lives.3
When selecting a glucose-lowering treatment strategy, the ADA/EASD recommend a regimen with high to very high dual glucose and weight efficacy, and tirzepatide is recommended for very high efficacy in achieving weight loss.4,¶
