Objective: Examine real-world effectiveness and hypoglycemia cost burden in patients with type 2 diabetes newly initiated on exenatide or insulin glargine.Design and methods: Retrospective cohort study describing patient characteristics, drug adherence patterns, and 1-year hypoglycemia rates with associated costs using an administrative claims database. Adult subjects with type 2 diabetes had an initial claim for exenatide or insulin glargine between May 1, 2005 and June 30, 2007, and had continuous eligibility for >= 6 months pre- and >= 12 months post-initiation.Results: The exenatide cohort (n=3262) was 53 +/- 10 years (+/-SD); 54% female. The insulin glargine cohort (n=3038) was 56 +/- 12 years; 41% female. The mean Deyo-Charlson comorbidity index score was 1.45 for exenatide versus 1.82 for insulin glargine (p
