Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Study to learn more about outcomes reported by patients suffering from type 2 diabetes using a digital data collection tool

Trial purpose

In this study researchers want to gain more information on patients who are treated with Metformin for their Type 2 Diabetes. Adult female and male patients with a prescription of a Metformin containing drug will be invited to the study in a public pharmacy after the decision for treatment with Metformin has been made by the treating physician. The pharmacist will provide interested participants access to a special phone App and participants are asked to complete via this phone App a questionnaire on their health situation with special focus on their Type 2 Diabetes. This includes questions on complications and self-care activities in relation to their diabetes, questions on quality of life and health history. There will be no extra visit to the treating doctor or a pharmacy. The study is aiming to have the questionnaire completed by 300 participants.
