The introduction of sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment has shown an unexpectedly significant improvement in heart disease outcome trials. Although they have very different modes of action, a portion of the salutary cardiovascular disease improvement may be related to their impact on diabetic dyslipidemia. As discussed in this focused review, the sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors as a class show a mild increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, while triglycerides (TG) decrease inconsistently. In particular, the rise in LDL appears to be related to the less atherogenic, large buoyant LDL particles. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists show more of an impact on weight loss and improvement in the underlying low HDL and high TG dyslipidemia. The effect of sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists when used in combination remains largely unknown. Also unexplored is difference in effect of these medications among various ethnicities and metabolic syndrome.
