The aim of the service is to promote correct medication use and increase patient adherence. The effect of Medisinstart has previously been studied among patients starting a new cardiovascular drug. The aim of the project is to map the effects of Medisinstart among patients starting a new medication for type 2 diabetes. Knowledge about the effects of Medisinstart is important in order to maximize the benefits of the service for patients and society. The project is being conducted as a randomized controlled trial among adult patients starting a new medication for type 2 diabetes. The intervention group receives Medisinstart, while the control group only receives prescription dispensing as normal. Data collection includes HbA1c analysis in blood samples and responses to questionnaires. HbA1c is an established measure of glycemic control., conditionsModule conditions: Type 2 Diabetes, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 500, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Medisinstart, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: HbA1c, primaryOutcomes measure: HbA1c, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-reported adherence, secondaryOutcomes measure: Self-reported adherence, secondaryOutcomes measure: Frequency of medication-related problems, secondaryOutcomes measure: Patients' beliefs about their medicines, secondaryOutcomes measure: Diabetes Self-Management, secondaryOutcomes measure: Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Apotek 1 Andslimoen, status: RECRUITING, city: Bardufoss, zip: 9325, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 69.06448, lon: 18.51521, locations facility: Apotek 1 Brandbu, status: RECRUITING, city: Brandbu, zip: 2760, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.42214, lon: 10.50428, locations facility: Apotek 1 Brummundal, status: RECRUITING, city: Brumunddal, zip: 2380, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.88095, lon: 10.93948, locations facility: Sykehusapoteket i Drammen, status: RECRUITING, city: Drammen, zip: 3004, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 59.74389, lon: 10.20449, locations facility: Vitusapotek Gjøvik, status: RECRUITING, city: Gjøvik, zip: 2806, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.79574, lon: 10.69155, locations facility: Vitusapotek Jessheim, status: RECRUITING, city: Jessheim, zip: 2050, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.14151, lon: 11.17515, locations facility: Boots apotek Kløfta, status: RECRUITING, city: Kløfta, zip: 2040, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.07407, lon: 11.13805, locations facility: Vitusapotek Leksvik, status: RECRUITING, city: Leksvik, zip: 7120, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 63.67274, lon: 10.6232, locations facility: Apotek 1 Lena, status: RECRUITING, city: Lena, zip: 2850, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.67391, lon: 10.81317, locations facility: Boots apotek Loddefjord, status: RECRUITING, city: Loddefjord, zip: 5171, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.36879, lon: 5.22607, locations facility: Sykehusapoteket i Oslo, Aker, status: RECRUITING, city: Oslo, zip: 0586, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 59.91273, lon: 10.74609, locations facility: Vitusapotek Røa, status: RECRUITING, city: Oslo, zip: 0751, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 59.91273, lon: 10.74609, locations facility: Ryfylke apotek, status: RECRUITING, city: Rennesøy, zip: 4150, country: Norway, locations facility: Vitusapotek Jekta, status: RECRUITING, city: Tromsø, zip: 9015, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 69.6489, lon: 18.95508, locations facility: Sykehusapoteket i Trondheim, status: RECRUITING, city: Trondheim, zip: 7030, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 63.43049, lon: 10.39506, locations facility: Vitusapotek Ulefoss, status: RECRUITING, city: Ulefoss, zip: 3830, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 59.28245, lon: 9.26548, locations facility: Apotek 1 Veakrossen, status: RECRUITING, city: Veavåg, zip: 4276, country: Norway, locations facility: Vitusapotek Åfjord, status: RECRUITING, city: Åfjord, zip: 7170, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 63.96113, lon: 10.22408, locations facility: Boots apotek Linnea, status: RECRUITING, city: Øystese, zip: 5610, country: Norway, geoPoint lat: 60.38825, lon: 6.19251, hasResults: False
