Brief Summary:
The study compares 2 medicines for type 2 diabetes: fast-acting insulin aspart (a new medicine) and NovoRapid®/NovoLog® (a medicine doctors can already prescribe). Fast-acting insulin aspart will be tested to see how well it works and if it is safe. Participants will get either fast-acting insulin aspart or NovoRapid®/ NovoLog® - which treatment you get is decided by chance. Both medicines will be taken together with insulin degludec. Participants will need to take 1 injection 4 times every day (all insulins will be provided in pens). The study will last for about 8 months (34 weeks).

    Changes in biochemistry - sodium from baseline (week 0) were evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last on-treatment value, which included the last available measurement in the on-treatment period. On-treatment period started from date of first dose of randomised NovoRapid/faster aspart and to 7 days after day of last dose or day before initiation of ancillary treatment.

  48. Change From Baseline in Biochemistry - Total Bilirubin [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 16 ]
    Changes in biochemistry - total bilirubin from baseline (week 0) were evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last on-treatment value, which included the last available measurement in the on-treatment period. On-treatment period started from date of first dose of randomised NovoRapid/faster aspart and to 7 days after day of last dose or day before initiation of ancillary treatment.

  49. Change From Baseline in Biochemistry - Total Protein [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 16 ]
    Changes in biochemistry - total protein from baseline (week 0) were evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last on-treatment value, which included the last available measurement in the on-treatment period. On-treatment period started from date of first dose of randomised NovoRapid/faster aspart and to 7 days after day of last dose or day before initiation of ancillary treatment.

  50. Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 16 ]
    Changes in body weight from baseline (week 0) were evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last on-treatment value, which included the last available measurement in the on-treatment period. On-treatment period started from date of first dose of randomised NovoRapid/faster aspart and to 7 days after day of last dose or day before initiation of ancillary treatment.

  51. Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 16 ]
    Change in the body mass index (BMI) from baseline (week 0) were evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last on-treatment value, which included the last available measurement in the on-treatment period. On-treatment period started from date of first dose of randomised NovoRapid/faster aspart and to 7 days after day of last dose or day before initiation of ancillary treatment.

Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: - Male or female, age equal to or above 18 years at the time of signing informed consent. - Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus for 10 years or longer prior to screening (Visit 1). - Treated with a basal-bolus insulin regimen for 1 year or longer prior to the day of screening (Visit 1). A basal-bolus insulin regimen is defined as basal insulin once or twice daily and bolus insulin analogue taken with meals at least 3 times daily. Treatment with premixed insulin or soluble insulin combination is not considered a basal-bolus regimen. - Treated with or without oral antidiabetic drugs including extended release formulations. - HbA1c 7.0-10.0% (both inclusive) as assessed by central laboratory at screening (Visit 1). Exclusion Criteria: - Any of the following: myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or transient ischaemic attack within the past 180 days prior to the day of screening (Visit 1). - Subjects presently classified as being in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV. - Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation known on the day of screening (Visit 1). - Treatment with injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists in a period of 90 days prior to screening (Visit 1). - Anticipated initiation or change in concomitant medications (for more than 14 consecutive days) known to affect weight or glucose metabolism (e.g. treatment with orlistat, thyroid hormones, or corticosteroids).
