This retrospective, observational cohort analysis will assess medical and pharmacy claims for
adult patients with type 2 diabetes from the Truven Health MarketScan® Commercial and
Medicare Supplemental claims databases between 2011 and 2015. Diabetes-related healthcare
utilization and costs will be measured as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include
