The scientific use of basal insulin is of great help to individuals and the government. However, there are few studies to investigate the real world use, effect, safety and influence factors of basal insulin in China. This study is to evaluate the use of first basal insulin in China patients with type 2 diabetes with inadequate glycemic control on oral antidiabetic agents (OADs) from the naturalistic clinical practice.

Diabetes is a common, costly condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diabetes self-management education, the process of teaching individuals to manage their diabetes, has been considered an important part. The intensive education has the capacity to deliver effective interventions to a large number of people. The investigators may be able to redirect our efforts to diabetes care and education strategies that will have a positive impact on the optimization of glycemic control and the prevention of long-term complications of diabetes, reducing the subsequent human and health care costs.
