A Research Study Looking at How Oral Semaglutide Works in People With Type 2 Diabetes in Sweden, as Part of Local Clinical Practice (PIONEER REAL)

A Multi-centre, Prospective, Non-interventional Single-arm Study Investigating Clinical Parameters Associated With the Use of Once-daily Oral Semaglutide in a Real-world Adult Population With Type 2 Diabetes in Sweden

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor.

Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.
