This study, called PRECIDENTD, looks at two treatments for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart or kidney disease risks. **Type 2 diabetes** means your body can't use sugar properly. **Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)** is when arteries harden, leading to heart issues. The study will test two medications: **SGLT2 inhibitors** and **GLP-1 receptor agonists.** Both help control blood sugar. The study will see which treatment helps better with heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
Participants must have T2D and be at risk for heart disease. If you have problems like past heart attacks, strokes, or artery issues, you may qualify. You need to be okay with being assigned to one of the two medications and have your health monitored until the study ends.
- The study involves 6,000 participants, following them for several years.
- Participants will need to take medication and attend regular health checks.
- It's important to have insurance that covers the study medications.
