Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the effectiveness of Tresiba® (insulin degludec) after switching basal insulin in a population with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. EU-TREAT (EUropean TREsiba AudiT)

Interventions

OTHERNo treatment given

Information will be collected from the medical records (paper/electronic) of each patient at several outpatient clinics to describe the two periods of medical history: before and after the initiation date of Tresiba®. For each patient, data will be collected, to describe a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 12 months in each period; thus, the study will collect information on 12 to 24 months of medical history for each patient.

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 * Age at least 18 years at the time of Tresiba® initiation * T1DM or insulin-treated T2DM patients * Switched to Tresiba® (with or without prandial insulin) after any basal insulin (with or without prandial insulin). Switch must have occurred at least 6 months prior to data collection and the patient may or may not be treated with Tresiba® at the time of patient selection * Previously treated with any basal insulin (with or without prandial insulin) for at least 6 months prior to switching to Tresiba® * At least one documented medical visit in the first 9 months after Tresiba® initiation * Minimum available data at the time of Tresiba® initiation: age, type of diabetes, HbA1c (Glycated haemoglobin), duration of diabetes, duration and type of insulin treatment, medical follow-up at the study site of at least 1 year, and an eGFR (Estimated glomerular filtration rate )value in the last 12 months

Exclusion criteria

* Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as having signed the Informed Consent * Participation in a diabetes clinical trial or receipt of any investigational medicinal product up to 12 months before or any time after the initiation of Tresiba® * Current participation in another non-interventional study on insulin degludec (Tresiba®) * Patients treated by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or premix insulin in the 6 months prior to receiving Tresiba®
