The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the two different beta blockers metoprolol and carvedilol on endothelial function in patients with either type two diabetes or chronic heart failure. Hypothesis: 1\* Carvedilol compared to metoprolol has a favourable effect on endothelial function. 2\* Carvedilol compared to metoprolol has a favourable effect on insulin stimulated endothelial function. The study is conducted as an open parallel group study.
