Patterns of glucose-lowering medication use in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure. Insights from the diabetes collaborative registry (DCR)

Conclusion In a large US-based outpatient registry, we found that a quarter of adults with T2D had a diagnosis of HF, which was predominantly HFpEF. Although certain T2D medication use in patients with HF appeared consistent with evidence (less use of thiazolidinediones), others appeared contrary to evidence (less use of metformin and SGLT2 inhibitors).
