What area of diabetes research does your project cover? What role will this particular project play in preventing, treating and/or curing diabetes? Previously, we observed that visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure was linked to heart failure, which is known to be 2.5 more likely in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this project, I will explore whether variability in blood pressure or variability in triglycerides exacerbates risk of heart failure in persons with T2D. This work will be conducted in T2D patients enrolled in both clinical trials and those recorded in a large
