Which drug is best for a patient with type 2 diabetes and heart failure?

Rebecca Clawson et al. JAAPA. .

Abstract

Heart failure is twice as common in men with type 2 diabetes than those without it and is almost five times greater in women with diabetes. Ideally, effective treatment for one condition also will help with the other; certainly, clinicians should not prescribe a medication that will potentially worsen one of the conditions, if avoiding it is at all possible. This article reviews the effects of diabetes medications on heart failure outcomes.
