A Study of People With Type 2 Diabetes Who Have Diseases That Affect the Heart and Blood Vessels. The Study Will Also Look at the Treatment of a Group of These People in Hospitals in Portugal

Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Other: No treatment given
Registration Number
NCT03797885
Lead Sponsor
Novo Nordisk A/S
Brief Summary

This study aims to estimate the number of patients with cardiovascular disease and risk factors in patients who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Simultaneously, this study also intends to obtain more information about the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with established cardiovascular disease. This study is non-interventional, which means that will not require participant's further related visits or procedures. The study will collect the participant's clinical data from the current visit and, when applicable, within the last 3 years.
