Observational Study to Evaluate the Safety of Levemir® in Diabetes - Full Text View

Purpose

This study is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan and South America. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of serious adverse reactions (SARs) while using Levemir® (insulin detemir) under normal clinical practice conditions.

Study conducted globally in 26 countries. Some countries participated in the study for only 3 months (Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Lebanon, Slovenia, Russia, and Turkey), while others extended their participation to 6 (Belgium/Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, and United Kingdom/Ireland) and 12 months (Finland, France, and Japan), respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Incidence of Serious Adverse Reactions, Including Major Hypoglycaemic Events [ Time Frame: Months 0-12 ]
The incidence of serious adverse reactions (SARs), including major hypoglycaemic events, during 3 months of insulin detemir therapy for all countries participating in the study, and during 6 and 12 months of insulin detemir therapy for some of the participating countries. The three sub-groups were mutually exclusive. Physicians did not report all major hypoglycaemic events as SARs. The values in the SAE table are SARs including only those major hypoglycaemic events that were reported as SARs by physicians.
