  Purpose

This trial is conducted in Europe, Africa and the United States of America (USA).

The aim of this trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of two different insulin treatments, the "basic" and the "advanced" treatment in type 2 diabetes.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Analysed for the full analysis set.

  • Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measured for the Per Protocol analysis set.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Hypoglycaemic Episodes [ Time Frame: Weeks 0-36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Number of hypoglycaemic episodes from Week 0 to Week 36, defined as major, minor or symptoms only. Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL). Symptoms only if able to treat her/himself and no plasma glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L.

  • Biochemistry: Serum Alanine Aminotransferase [ Time Frame: week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Alanine aminotransferase was measured in serum at week 36. Serum samples were analysed at a central laboratory.

  • Haematology: Haemoglobin Measured in Blood [ Time Frame: week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Haemoglobin was measured in blood samples at week 36. Blood samples were analysed at a central laboratory.

  • Cardiovascular Risk Marker: High-sensitivity C-reactive Peptide [ Time Frame: week 36 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    High-sensitivity C-reactive peptide was measured in serum at week 36. Serum samples were analysed at a central laboratory.


Enrollment: 296
Study Start Date: October 2007
Study Completion Date: March 2009
Primary Completion Date: March 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Advanced
Insulin detemir once daily + oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) with addition of meal-time insulin aspart stepwise (1-2-3) at the meals with the largest prandial increments and individually adjusted insulin aspart based mainly on postmeal SMPG (self monitored plasma glucose). The stepwise addition occurred if the treatment target of HbA1c below 7.0% was not reached after 12, 24 and 36 weeks, respectively.
 Drug: insulin detemir
Treat-to-target dose titration scheme (individually adjusted dose) for a once daily injection s.c. (under the skin)
Drug: insulin aspart
Administered 1 - 3 times daily, at largest prandial increment, injection s.c. (under the skin)
Active Comparator: Basic
Insulin detemir once daily + oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) with addition of meal-time insulin aspart stepwise (1-2-3) at the largest meals and individually adjusted insulin aspart based mainly on pre-meal and bedtime SMPG (self monitored plasma glucose). The stepwise addition occurred if the treatment target of HbA1c below 7.0% was not reached after 12, 24 and 36 weeks, respectively.
 Drug: insulin detemir
Treat-to-target dose titration scheme (individually adjusted dose) for a once daily injection s.c. (under the skin)
Drug: insulin aspart
Administered 1 - 3 times daily, at largest meals, injection s.c. (under the skin)
