- Left ventricular function
Study Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators wish to investigate wether a more strict diabetic control improves cardiac function, muscle strength, exercise capacity and decreases symptoms.
The investigators hypothesis is that improving the glycemic control in suboptimized diabetics with heart failure will improve cardiac performance, muscle strength, exercise capacity and decrease symptoms.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Left ventricular function
Time Frame: 4 month
Left ventricular function will be evaluated using echocardiografi measuring: - 2D Ejection fraction (using an ultrasound agent), global and regional tissue velocity, Strain / strain rate - all measures done during rest and dobutamin stress test.
Secondary Outcomes
- 6-minutes hall walk test(4 month)
- Exercise capacity and peak oxygen consumption(4 month)
- Muscle strength and mass(4 month)
- hormonal and metabolic profile(4 month)
