Brief summary

The goal of this study is to better understand the real-world effectiveness of semaglutide use on cardio-kidney-metabolic outcomes among adults with T2D and adults with obesity (without diabetes mellitus). This is a retrospective longitudinal analysis using the LMC Diabetes Registry. The primary outcome of the study is to evaluate the change in HbA1c between baseline to 3 years of follow-up among adults with T2D who initiated semaglutide compared to adults with T2D who initiated other AHAs, including sulfonylurea, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.
