The FLOW trial results on renal function and renal outcomes: semaglutide 1.0mg reduced the composite kidney outcome by 24% (HR 0.76, p=0.0003) in CKD patients with T2DM[1].
The trial was stopped early for efficacy — always a strong signal. GFR decline was 1.16 mL/min/1.73m²/year slower with semaglutide. This positions GLP-1 agonists alongside SGLT2 inhibitors as pillars of cardiorenal protection in T2DM.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.
Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it.

Worth separating that from semaglutide, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Nothing to add that would improve it.
