Long‐term glycaemic response and tolerability of dapagliflozin versus a sulphonylurea as add‐on therapy to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes: 4‐year data

Aims To assess the long‐term efficacy and tolerability of dapagliflozin versus glipizide as add‐on to metformin in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes.
