A Study to Compare Insulin Intensification of Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 and Insulin Analogues (Insulin Glargine and Insulin Aspart) in Insulin naïve Type 2 Diabetic Patients
A Study to Compare Insulin Intensification of Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 and Insulin Analogues (Insulin Glargine and Insulin Aspart) in Insulin naïve Type 2 Diabetic Patients
This trial is conducted globally. The aim of this trial is to compare stepwise insulin
 intensification of biphasic insulin aspart (BIAsp) 30 and basal-bolus therapy with insulin
 glargine and insulin aspart in insulin naïve type 2 diabetic patients inadequately controlled
 on oral anti-diabetic therapy.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Informed consent obtained before any trial-related activities. Trial-related
 activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the trial, including
 activities to determine suitability for the trial

 -  Male or female, age at least 18 years at the time of signing informed consent

 -  Type 2 diabetes subjects clinically diagnosed at least 6 months prior to screening

 -  Treatment with stable daily dose (for at least 90 days prior to screening) of: -
 Metformin (equal or above 1000 mg or maximum tolerated dose documented in the patient
 medical record) and - Sulfonylurea - and willing to discontinue any other oral
 antidiabetic drugs containing insulin secretagogues, DPP4i (dipeptidyl peptidase-4
 inhibitor), SGLT2 (sodium glucose co-transporter 2), colesevelam, bromocriptin and/or
 combination products at randomisation

 -  Insulin-naïve. Short term insulin treatment for acute illnesses for a total of 14 days
 or less is allowed as is prior insulin treatment for gestational diabetes

 -  HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) 7.0-9.5 % (both inclusive) analysed by central
 laboratory

 -  Willing to consume 3 main meals daily (morning, mid-day and evening) throughout the
 entire trial. The definition for 'main meal' will be according to the investigator's
 discretion

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Anticipated initiation or change in concomitant medications known to affect weight or
 glucose metabolism, in excess of 14 days (i.e. sibutramine, orlistat, thyroid
 hormones, systemic corticosteroids and other weight loss/modifying agents)

 -  Impaired liver function, defined as ALT (alanine aminotransferase) at least 2.5 times
 upper limit of normal (central laboratory value measured at screening visit)

 -  Inadequately treated high blood pressure defined as Class 2 hypertension or higher
 (i.e. systolic blood pressure equal to or above 160 mm Hg or diastolic equal to or
 above 100 mm Hg) in accordance with the National High Blood Pressure Education
 Program, 7th Joint National Committee1 and ESH/ESC 2013 Guidelines2

 -  Within the past 180 days prior to randomisation, any of the following: Myocardial
 Infarction, stroke or hospitalization for unstable angina and /or transient ischemic
 attack
