- "During the enrollment visit, patients will undergo a baseline HEMOTAG evaluation, cardiovascular event assessment as well as baseline questionnaire assessments."
- "All patients will undergo standard of care follow-up visits at their normal 6 month and 12 month visits and will repeat the HEMOTAG evaluation (in clinic), cardiovascular event assessment, NT-pro BNP, as well as questionnaire assessments."
- "Throughout the course of this study, all study participant's medical records will reviewed and assessed for the occurrence of cardiac events (including hospitalizations, emergency room visits/urgent care visits, other cardiac assessments, and death) for up to 12 months."
- Compensation

About this study
To evaluate the proportion of diabetic mellitus patients with CV events as measured by HEMOTAG.
