Inclusion criteria

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (diagnosed clinically) for at least 6 months
  • Subjects on premixed human or analogue insulin or self-mixed insulin regimen, containing 20-40 % fast/rapid-acting component, once daily (OD) or twice daily (BID), with or without oral antidiabetic drugs) (OADs) (metformin, sulphonylurea (SU), glinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitor and pioglitazone), for at least 3 months before Visit 1
  • HbA1c 7.0-10.0 % (both inclusive) by central laboratory analysis
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) below or equal to 40.0 kg/m^2

Exclusion criteria

  • Treatment with other insulin regimens than those listed in key inclusion criterion no. 2 within 3 months
  • Treatment with rosiglitazone or glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (exenatide, liraglutide) within 3 months prior to visit 1
  • Cardiovascular disease within the last 6 months prior to visit 1, defined as: stroke; decompensated heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV; myocardial infarction; unstable angina pectoris; or coronary arterial bypass graft or angioplasty
  • Uncontrolled treated/untreated severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure at least 180 millimetre (mm) mercury (Hg) and/or diastolic blood pressure at least 100 mmHg)
  • Pregnancy, breast-feeding, the intention of becoming pregnant or not using adequate contraceptive measures according to local requirements
  • Cancer and medical history of cancer (except basal cell skin cancer and squamous cell skin cancer

Treatment and study plan

insulin degludec/insulin aspart

Drug

Injected s.c. (under the skin) with the breakfast meal and main evening meal. The dose were individually adjusted. Subjects continued their pre-trial OADs (oral antidiabetic drug(s)) treatment of Metformin, the specific DPP-4 Inhibitor and Pioglitazone.

biphasic insulin aspart 30

Drug

Injected s.c. (under the skin) with the breakfast meal and main evening meal. The dose were individually adjusted. Subjects continued their pre-trial OADs (oral antidiabetic drug(s)) treatment of Metformin, the specific DPP-4 Inhibitor and Pioglitazone.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c)

    Time frame: Week 0, Week 26

    Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG)

    Time frame: Week 26

    Mean of SMPG after 26 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.

  2. Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Time frame: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

  3. Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

    Time frame: Week 0 to Week 26 + 7 days follow up

    Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
