Brief summary

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of insulin detemir (Levemir®) used as basal insulin on the glycaemic control, weight and incidence of hypoglycaemic events in insulin treated subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes treated with insulin NPH under normal clinical practice conditions in Slovakia.

Interventions

DRUGinsulin detemir

Prescribed insulin detemir and insulin aspart based on the clinical judgement of the physician. The insulin preparations were prescribed by the physician solely as a result of a normal clinical evaluation. The physician determined the starting dose and frequency, as well as later changes to either dose or frequency, if any.
