Brief Summary:
The GoDARTS study will encompass all patients, with diabetes, aged 16 and upwards who meet the planned inclusion criteria. The study aims to investigate biomarkers associated with diabetes progression, therapeutic response, diabetes complications and related traits, and specifically to investigate mechanisms of action and response to metformin. The study will specifically target patients who have been diagnosed within the past 2 years and follow up will be by linkage to electronic health record data. Up to 6,000 patients will be recruited into the study over a period of 2-3 years with a primary aim to identify 1000 of these patients who should be suitable to be started on metformin therapy.
Most patients will undergo a single screening visit lasting approximately 20 minutes conducted on an outpatient basis. Patients commenced on metformin therapy will need to attend a second clinic visit to be carried out between 4-6 months after initiation of metformin therapy.
Up to 9 health boards will be approached regarding participating in the study, and it is estimated that between 4-6 diabetes patients will be recruited into the study each week, at each site.
All screened patients will provide consent for data linkage and longitudinal follow up and their samples and data will be used to supplement the SHARE/SDRN bioresource. The collection into the resource will be managed by the co-ordinating centre study team based at the University of Dundee/NHS Tayside. The resource will be hosted by the Tayside Biorepository and access to samples and data will be managed by the Tayside Biorepository on behalf of the whole of Scotland.

Detailed Description:
This GoDARTS-Scotland proposal aims to investigate biomarkers associated with diabetes progression, therapeutic response, diabetes complications and related traits, and specifically to investigate mechanisms of action and response to metformin. GoDARTS-Scotland will specifically target the patient group who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the previous 2 years and follow up will be by linkage to electronic health record data.
The study will, for the most part, involve a single study visit lasting approximately 20 minutes. Informed consent will be obtained before any study procedures are carried out.
In addition, those patients who are not on metformin will undergo more comprehensive sampling and a second visit, between four to six months, after initiation of metformin. As current guidelines suggest all patients who are newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes should be treated with metformin the investigator will ask the patient and General Practitioner to consider initiation of metformin, although this is a clinical decision that will be made by the GP. Between four to six months after commencement of Metformin the patient will be asked to return to the clinic for a second visit where additional samples and measures will be taken.
The investigator plans to recruit patients aged 16 and upwards with a diagnosis of diabetes from several Scottish Health Boards.
The Resource will be hosted by the Tayside Biorepository which is part of the East of Scotland Tissue Bank. Access to samples and data will be managed by the Tayside Biorepository on behalf of the whole of Scotland. All initial requests for access will be made to the Tayside Biorepository Access Committee who will manage the process and send requests for access to data to the relevant access committees.
All eligible patients will be recruited into this study from February 2016 until January 2019 and this will allow any necessary follow up visits to take place.
