    Summary
    In patients ≥65 years, hemoglobin A1C decreased to a greater extent with IDegLira than with comparators (estimated treatment differences, -1.0% [-1.5; -0.6]95% confidence interval [CI], -0.8% [-1.0; -0.5]95% CI, and -0.9% [-1.3; -0.6]95%CI) for DUAL II, V, and III, respectively; all P<.001).
