EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF BASAL INSULIN THERAPY IN ROMANIAN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES IN REAL-LIFE SETTINGS: A SUB-GROUP ANALYSIS OF DUNE STUDY.

Context: Despite the available evidence showing the vital role of glycemic control in the management of type 2 diabetes, a significant proportion of patients are not achieving a good glycemic control.

Objective: Here we present the results of the Diabetes Unmet Need with basal insulin Evaluation (DUNE) study for patients enrolled in Romanian centers with the aim to describe the proportion of participants who achieved individualized HbA1c targets at 12 weeks following basal insulin therapy initiation.

Design: Prospective, observational study.

DIETARY PATTERNS AND THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH OBESITY: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.

Context: Scarce data on dietary habits in Eastern European countries is available and reports investigated individual food items and not dietary patterns in these populations.

Objective: To identify dietary patterns and to explore their association with obesity in a sample from Romanian population.

Design: Cross-sectional.
