Brief Summary
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rising rapidly worldwide. In Denmark approximately 8% of adults have T2D and more than 25.000 are diagnosed each year. This has vast consequences for society and the patient. Standardized treatment aiming at normalizing blood glucose and hypertension comparable to healthy individuals, have been tested in large studies. The effect on cardiovascular disease and other complications have been modest at best and one study showed an increased mortality with intensive treatment. The standardized treatment often results in polypharmacy, which increases the risk of patients discontinuing treatment. We propose a new approach to treatment of T2D, where the patients' individual characteristics are considered. The aetiology of the diabetes can be different, which warrants different treatment. Many patients have concomitant illness which can affect the way the patient is treated. A tight regulation of blood glucose can in some patient constitute a risk of adverse effects, especially hypoglycemia. In that sense individual targets for the treatment are important. Effective lifestyle treatment has importance for a successful outcome and we therefore offer an application that can help the patient and the physician organizing activity individually. The objective of individual treatment is to choose the most effective medication. If a prescribed drug does not have the desired effect it should be replaced with a different drug. The overall goal is to reduce the number of substances and side-effects, but simultaneous improve treatment and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and other diabetes-related complications. This will in turn result in improved quality of life and improved adherence to treatment. The potential effect of individual tailored treatment of T2D is to improve the guidelines of treatment, not only to improve the patients' health, but also to reduce the socioeconomic consequences of the growing T2D prevalence

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Newly discovered diabetes patients clinically classified as T2D patients of both sex'
- Participation in the DD2 cohort
- Signed informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with age under 18
- Type 1 diabetes. If patients at baseline investigations have age\<30 years AND C-peptid\<300pmol/l AND GAD-ab titer\> 20 IU/ml they are also considered as having type 1 diabetes.
- Life expectancy below 2 years
- Psychiatric or mental disease that affects the patients ability to give informed consent or participate adequately in the study
- Ongoing abuse of alcohol or illicit drugs that affects the patients ability to give informed consent or participate adequately in the study
- Participation in any other clinical trial
