Study population text

The study population consisted of patients aged 18 or above, with type 2 diabetes starting any of the available initial injectable treatment options (any insulin, or exenatide BID) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes as part of routine clinical care.

Eligibility criteria

are aged 18 or above
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
have had a treatment decision made within the normal course of care to initiate either insulin or exenatide for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
have not previously been treated with either insulin or exenatide
are not simultaneously participating in another study which includes an investigational drug or procedure at study entry
have been fully informed and given their written consent for use of their data
have sufficient understanding of the primary language of their country such that they will be able to complete the questionnaires.
