Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the change in Alanine Aminotransaminase (ALT) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) initiating Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, liraglutide, or sitagliptin, compared to a control group of patients who did not initiate a new antihyperglycemic therapy. The hypothesis is that patients using Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) will achieve a greater reduction in ALT compared to the control group.

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
This study will include patients with T2DM who are patients at LMC Diabetes \& Endocrinology. Patients will be included in the treatment cohorts if they initiated canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, liraglutide or sitagliptin, between January 2011 and December 2015, and did not discontinue the treatment prior to 6 weeks of being on the medication. The control group will include patients with T2DM who are patients at LMC Diabetes \& Endocrinology, and who did not initiate any new diabetes treatment between June 2014 and June 2015.
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of T2DM based upon historical clinical diagnosis
- Patients who initiated canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, liraglutide or sitagliptin by an LMC physician between January 2011 and December 2015, or patients who did not initiate a new diabetes therapy between June 2014 and June 2015.
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes
- Patients who switched to one of the study treatments from another medication of the same medication class
