Evaluate Quality of Life in Type 2 Diabetes, Before and After Change to Insuline Glargine (QoL)

December 4, 2009 updated by: Sanofi

A Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate Quality of Life in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Before and After Changing Therapy to a Combination of Insulin Glargine and Oral Antidiabetic Drugs in a Real Life Situation

Primary objective:

To assess quality of Life (QoL) changes and treatment satisfaction in a real life situation in patients with Type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on a combination of oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD) plus Neutral Protamine Hagedrone (NHP) insulin treatment that are switched to insulin glargine.

Secondary objective:

To determine:

change in HbA1c, comparision of the incidence of symptomatic hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia before and after introduction of insulin glargine, change in weight, change in insulin dose.
