Highlights

  • External validation confirms that a clinical algorithm for selecting between SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and DPP4 inhibitors (DPP4i) is accurate across White, Black, South Asian, and Mixed/Other ethnicity groups in the UK.
  • While SGLT2i predictions were robust across groups, minor recalibration was required for DPP4i predictions due to higher-than-expected observed glycemic responses.
  • The predicted glycemic advantage of SGLT2i over DPP4i was most pronounced in individuals of White ethnicity (3.7 mmol/mol) compared to South Asian (2.1 mmol/mol) and Black (0.6 mmol/mol) groups.
  • Results support the clinical utility of the MASTERMIND selection model as a tool for personalized diabetes management in multi-ethnic populations.
