Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study participants will try out two different types of drug injection pens (dulaglutide and semaglutide) on a practice pad and decide which device they prefer. No study drug will be administered.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes * Self-injection naïve to all injectable treatment (for example, diabetes therapies and other medical conditions) * Injection naïve to performing all injectable treatment (for example, diabetes therapies and other medical conditions) to others
Exclusion criteria
* Currently diagnosed with gestational diabetes and/or type 1 diabetes * Cognitive or physical difficulties that could interfere with ability to understand the training, perform the injection tasks, or complete the study questionnaires as judged by the investigator * Is a health care practitioner who is trained in giving injections
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | Day 1 | Preference of injection device was assessed by questionnaire which asks, Overall, which device do you prefer? The Prescott test will be run to examine if a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices exits, while controlling for order effects and taking into account the neutral responses. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Ease of Use | Day 1 | Participants responded to the Diabetes Injection Device - Preference Questionnaire (DID-PQ), Item 9 (ease of use) to compare the dulaglutide and semaglutide devices with regard to ease. Response options of strongly prefer and prefer were combined for each device, resulting in 3 categories: prefer dulaglutide, prefer semaglutide, and no preference. The Prescott test will be run to examine if a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices exists while, controlling for order effects. |

Outcome results
Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item
Preference of injection device was assessed by questionnaire which asks, Overall, which device do you prefer? The Prescott test will be run to examine if a statistically significant difference in preference between the devices exits, while controlling for order effects and taking into account the neutral responses.
Time frame: Day 1
Population: All randomized participants with exposure to both devices and Global Preference data.
| Arm | Measure | Group | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dulaglutide to Semaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | Dulaglutide Device Preference | 87.7 percentage of participants |
| Dulaglutide to Semaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | No Device Preference | 2.6 percentage of participants |
| Dulaglutide to Semaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | Semaglutide Device Preference | 9.7 percentage of participants |
| Semaglutide to Dulaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | Semaglutide Device Preference | 14.8 percentage of participants |
| Semaglutide to Dulaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | Dulaglutide Device Preference | 80.6 percentage of participants |
| Semaglutide to Dulaglutide | Participant Preference Between 2 Injection Devices Based on Global Preference Item | No Device Preference | 4.5 percentage of participants |
