Heart and Circulation

We are doing this study to learn more about how 2 different classes of diabetes medications help lower the risk of heart disease. The types of diabetes medications that have been shown to reduce the risk of new or worsening heart disease are SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists. We don't know which of these drugs might be preferable to reduce heart disease risk for diabetes patients, and we hope this study can help us find out which drug(s) may be the most appropriate for most patients.
