Empagliflozin-based Quadruple Therapy vs Basal Insulin-based Therapy

Long-term Effectiveness and Safety of Empagliflozin-based Quadruple Oral Antidiabetic Agents Therapy Compared to Basal Insulin-based Combination Therapy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of the empagliflozin as add-on thearpy compared to basal insulin-based antidiabetic agents (OADs) combination therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on triple OADs in a real clinical practice.
