Study population text

This study will include patients with T2DM who are patients at LMC Diabetes \& Endocrinology. Patients will be included in the treatment cohorts if they initiated canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, liraglutide or sitagliptin, between January 2011 and December 2015, and did not discontinue the treatment prior to 6 weeks of being on the medication. The control group will include patients with T2DM who are patients at LMC Diabetes \& Endocrinology, and who did not initiate any new diabetes treatment between June 2014 and June 2015.

Inclusion criteria

Diagnosis of T2DM based upon historical clinical diagnosis
Patients who initiated canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, liraglutide or sitagliptin by an LMC physician between January 2011 and December 2015, or patients who did not initiate a new diabetes therapy between June 2014 and June 2015.

Exclusion criteria

Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes
Patients who switched to one of the study treatments from another medication of the same medication class
