Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their health and diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these questionnaires during their normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.
Interventions
DRUGSemaglutide
Patients will be treated with commercially available semaglutide in a prefilled pen injector (FlexTouch® variant) according to routine local clinical practice at the discretion of the treating physician. Other anti-hyperglycaemic treatments will be prescribed at the physician's discretion.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Measured in % points |
| Change in HbA1c | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Measured in mmol/mol |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HbA1c level at end of study: <8.0% (64 mmol/mol) (yes/no) | At end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: \<8.0% |
| HbA1c level at end of study: <7.5% (59 mmol/mol) (yes/no) | At end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: \<7.5% |
| HbA1c level at end of study: <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) (yes/no) | At end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: \<7.0% |
| Reduction in HbA1c of 1.0% point or more (yes/no) | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved reduction in HbA1c of 1.0% point or more |
| Weight reduction of 3.0% or more (yes/no) | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved weight reduction of 3.0% or more |
| Weight reduction of 5.0% or more (yes/no) | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved weight reduction of 5.0% or more |
| Change in body weight | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Measured in kg |
| Patient reported severe or documented hypoglycaemia (yes/no) | Between baseline (week 0) and end of study (week 28-38) | Number of patients who reported/not reported severe or documented hypoglycaemia |
| Change in score for Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - Status (DTSQs) (absolute treatment satisfaction): Total treatment satisfaction | Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | The status version (DTSQs) provides a measure of how satisfied patients are with their current diabetes treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from 0 to 6 (0 = very dissatisfied to 6 = very satisfied). Six questions are summed to produce a total Treatment Satisfaction score. The remaining two questions are concerning perceived frequency of hyperglycaemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycaemia, respectively. |
| Change in score for Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - Change (DTSQc) (relative treatment satisfaction): Total treatment satisfaction | Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | The change version (DTSQc) has the same 8 items as the status version, but is reworded to direct the patients to compare the experience of the current treatment with the experience of previous treatment. Each question is scored on a scale of -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change. |
| Change in score for Short Form (SF)-36 v2: Physical summary component | Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | The SF-36®v2 questionnaire has 36 questions grouped into eight domains termed: physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health, which again can be combined to give two summary component scores (overall mental- and physical health). |
| Change in score for SF-36 v2: Mental summary component | Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | The SF-36®v2 questionnaire has 36 questions grouped into eight domains termed: physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health, which again can be combined to give two summary component scores (overall mental- and physical health). |
| Patient completed the study under treatment with semaglutide (yes/no) | At end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of patients who completed/not completed the study under treatment with semaglutide |
| HbA1c reduction of 1.0% point or more and weight reduction of 3.0% or more (yes/no) | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c reduction of 1.0% point or more and weight reduction of 3.0% or more |
| Change in waist circumference | Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38) | Measured in cm |
