Is there a dose-response relationship between glyburide and cardiovascular outcomes?
EF 2011-12
Résumé
People with type 2 diabetes often need to use medications to help control their blood sugar. Although all diabetes medications do a good job at lowering blood sugar, there are questions about the effect of these medications on other parts of the body. We want to know if a commonly used medication, glyburide (or Diabeta (R)), is linked to a higher risk of heart disease. One way to explore this question is to examine the different levels of heart disease risk against different levels of drug used. We will use medical information from the province of Alberta to examine this question.
