## In brief

- In people with type 2 diabetes and no established cardiovascular disease, starting GLP-1 treatment and then stopping is associated with twice the combined risk of heart attack, stroke or death compared with staying on treatment.
- The reported finding is an association and comes from the Medical Xpress summary of the study; the source does not give further detail on design or sample size.

## Why it matters

For people with type 2 diabetes who have started a GLP-1 drug such as Ozempic, stopping it may carry a higher risk of heart attack, stroke or death than continuing, which is relevant to how clinicians and patients weigh discontinuation.
