Observational Study on Levemir® in Obese Diabetic Patients (KILOS)

August 13, 2014 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Prospective, Multicentre, Non-controlled, Observational, 52-weeks Study: the Evaluation of the Body Weight Progress During the Treatment With Insulin Detemir in Type 1 or 2 Diabetes Patients, Previously Treated With Other Basal Insulins

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the effect of switch from other basal insulin treatments to Levemir® on body weight in obese diabetic patients. A local extension will be conducted in Slovenia in order to reach the planned 400 patients for the sub-analysis of Slovenian patients.

Included in the study is a retrospective part to evaluate the weight progress since initiation of insulin treatment of another basal insulin and/or oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD) and/or bolus insulin therapy. Retrospective data will be collected at baseline and at approximately 6 and 12 months before starting insulin detemir therapy.
