Study population text

The study population is adults aged 30 or older who have type 2 diabetes and are at moderate risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD), and who are starting a second diabetes medication (after metformin). Patients from collaborating institutions will be included in the analysis based on study population inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Eligibility criteria

Individuals meeting the following criteria between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2021:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) type II
HbA1c of 7-11% within the past year
Monotherapy with metformin for at least 3 months
No prior non-metformin outpatient diabetes therapy
Aged ≥30y
At "moderate" risk of ASCVD
Men aged ≥35y and women aged ≥45y with no history* of stroke, myocardial infarction, revascularization, or heart failure hospitalization
Men aged 30-34 and women aged 30-44 with history* of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, retinopathy, kidney disease or neuropathy
estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 ml/min/1.73m2 within the past 3 years
Not pregnant at time 0
No history* of institutionalization with a diagnosis of dementia, metastatic cancer, end stage lung disease, end stage liver disease, pancreatitis, medullary thyroid cancer or severe UTIs
Engagement with the healthcare system: enrollment for at least 12 months and attendance of at least one outpatient encounter in the prior 12 months

(*) History will be derived from at least 12 months of EHR and claims prior to time zero and will use all available EHR and claims data between January 1, 2014 and time zero
