…according to this article at Diabetes Care. The study population was the Nurses Health Study. The longer the sulfonylurea was used, the stronger the association with coronary heart disease. CHD is by far the most common cause of heart attacks. On the bright side, the drugs were not linked to stroke risk. Remember, correlation is not causation, blah, blah, blah…
I rarely start my patients on sulfonylureas these days.
