Study population text
EHR data from two data sources (NYC and Mid-South CDRN's) will be linked to insurance claims data to identify adult patients (age \> 18) with T2DM and CKD, who are initiating metformin or one of the comparator drugs. Also, participants will further be required to have at least one prescription for metformin, sulfonylurea, or DPP-4 inhibitor; at least 6 months preceding that prescription in which none of those drugs are used; and an eGFR within 1 month prior to the index date (the date on which the drug of interest is started) of \< 60 mL/min
