[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1585379, member: 410240"] If I recall correctly Metformin is the only drug the come out well on the Accord Study. (I think SGLT2 inhibitors were not included as they were not in common use at the time.) Some people are now saying that part of the issue is that people got low HbA1c with high fasting BG, hence must have had very low BG in the daytime etc, maybe with lots of Hypos. What is clear is that HbA1c is not a predictor of the effativness of drugs for Type2. Yet GPs get paid more if they get our HbA1c lower regardless of the harmfullness of the drugs being used........
