Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect historical data in real life conditions in a large group of people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and were treated with Tresiba® (insulin degludec) for at least 6 months. Data will be collected beginning 6 months before the participant started Tresiba® up to around 6 months after the participant started taking insulin degludec.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Informed consent will be obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any data collection from the medical records of the patient
- •Male or female age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of insulin degludec initiation
- •Type 1 diabetes mellitus or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
- •Switched to insulin degludec (± prandial insulin) after any basal insulin (± prandial insulin). Switch must have occurred at least 6 months prior to data collection and the patient may or may not be treated with insulin degludec at the time of patient selection
- •Previously treated with any basal insulin (± prandial insulin) for at least 6 months prior to switching to insulin degludec
- •At least one documented medical visit in the first 6 months (closest value in 3 to 9 months window) after insulin degludec initiation
- •Minimum available data at the time of insulin degludec initiation: age, type of diabetes, HbA1c, duration of diabetes, duration and type of insulin treatment, medical follow-up at the study site for at least 1 year, and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value in the last 12 ±6 months (full data period)
Exclusion Criteria
- •Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as having signed the Informed Consent in this study
- •Patients treated by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or premix insulin in the 6 months prior to receiving Tresiba
Arms & Interventions
