Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of T2DM patients with high medication adherence at Week 24 [24 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The effectiveness of linagliptin and acarbose on glycemic control evaluated by reducing HbA1c during a 24 week follow-up in two groups [24 weeks]
- Proportion of T2DM patients achieving a therapeutic glycemic response defined as HbA1c < 7.0% or a lowering of HbA1c ≥ 0.5% [24 weeks]
- To compare the composite endpoint (proportion of achieving HbA1c < 7.0% without gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs) and without an investigator defined hypoglycaemic event) [24 weeks]
- Patient satisfaction by Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) among linagliptin and acarbose initiators. The DTSQ would be completed at routine physician visits since initiation of the drug [24 weeks]
