ALOGLIPTIN vs PIOGLITAZONE

I was going to start Ozempic tonight, but I just can't.

I did some work on the available data on CV outcome trials to date. This is a wordy summary of available trials, but hopefully shed some light on the p

I take Metformin, Alogliptin, and Empagliflozin. Before that I was taking Pioglitazone instead of Empagliflozin. My blood sugar was fantastic.
