NICE Technology Appraisal Guidance: Tirzepatide (tirzepatide) for treating type 2 diabetes10

Tirzepatide is recommended for treating type 2 diabetes alongside diet and exercise in adults when it is insufficiently controlled only if:

  • triple therapy with metformin and 2 other oral antidiabetic drugs is ineffective, not tolerated or contraindicated, and
  • they have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 kg/m2 or more, and specific psychological or other medical problems associated with obesity, or
  • they have a BMI of less than 35 kg/m2, and:
    • insulin therapy would have significant occupational implications, or
    • weight loss would benefit other significant obesity-related complications

 

Use lower BMI thresholds (usually reduced by 2.5 kg/m2) for peoplefrom South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean family backgrounds.
