Adding a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dominated switching to a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist over the lifetimes of patients with type 2 diabetes not at glycated hemoglobin A1c target after treatment with metformin plus a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor.

This study evaluates the long-term cost-effectiveness of treatment involving combination therapy with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors compared with an alternative with sulfonyureas prior to insulin initiation on a background of metformin.
