Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed by the study doctor.

Primary	Change in Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)	Measured in % points	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Primary	Change in HbA1c	Measured in mmol/mol	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Change in body weight	Measured in kg	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Change in body weight	Measured in %	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Change in waist circumference	Measured in cm	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	HbA1c level at end of study: <8.0% (64 mmol/mol) (yes/no)	Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: <8.0%	At end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	HbA1c level at end of study: <7.5% (59 mmol/mol) (yes/no)	Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: <7.5%	At end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	HbA1c level at end of study: <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) (yes/no)	Number of participants who achieved/not achieved HbA1c level at end of study: <7.0%	At end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Reduction in HbA1c of 1.0% point or more (yes/no)	Number of participants who achieved/not achieved reduction in HbA1c of 1.0% point or more	Baseline (up to 12 weeks prior to treatment initiation at week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)

Secondary	Change in score for Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - Status (DTSQs) (absolute treatment satisfaction): Total treatment satisfaction	The status version (DTSQs) provides a measure of how satisfied patients are with their current diabetes treatment. It consists of 8 questions, which are to be answered on a Likert scale from 0 to 6 (0 = very dissatisfied to 6 = very satisfied). Six questions are summed to produce a total Treatment Satisfaction score. The remaining two questions are concerning perceived frequency of hyperglycaemia and perceived frequency of hypoglycaemia, respectively.	Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Change in score for Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire - Change (DTSQc) (relative treatment satisfaction): Total treatment satisfaction	The change version (DTSQc) has the same 8 items as the status version, but is reworded to direct the patients to compare the experience of the current treatment with the experience of previous treatment. Each question is scored on a scale of -3 to +3 (-3 = much less satisfied now to +3 = much more satisfied now), with 0 (midpoint), representing no change.	Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)

Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Change in score for SF-36 v2: Mental summary component	The SF-36®v2 questionnaire has 36 questions grouped into eight domains termed: physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health, which again can be combined to give two summary component scores (overall mental- and physical health).	Baseline (week 0), end of study (week 28 to 38)
Secondary	Patient completed the study under treatment with semaglutide (yes/no)	Number of patients who completed/not completed the study under treatment with semaglutide	At end of study (week 28 to 38)
