Summary
Over a 24-week period, a combination of empagliflozin/linagliptin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes produced significant reductions in HbA1c compared with linagliptin and with empagliflozin 10 mg, but not empagliflozin 25 mg. This randomized trial suggests that this approach could be a more efficient way to achieve glycemic control.
