Abstract

We wish to thank Tasci and colleagues for their interest in our paper published in Acta Diabetologica [1, 2]. We would like to emphasize that this was not a prospective cohort study but a retrospective study based on electronic medical records. This is a serious limitation of the study and we have emphasized this in the paper. However, in a sense, it is also the strength of the study, because it is a ‘real life study’ and therefore reflects the situation ‘as is where is’ in a clinic which is valuable data.
