Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Insulin degludec/liraglutide OD plus metformin |
Drug: insulin degludec/liraglutide
Insulin degludec/liraglutide is injected subcutaneously s.c. (under the skin) once daily (OD). Dose individually adjusted. Subjects should continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin. |
Active Comparator: Insulin glargine OD plus metformin |
Drug: insulin glargine
Insulin glargine is injected subcutaneously s.c. (under the skin) once daily (OD). Dose individually adjusted. Subjects should continue their pre-trial treatment with metformin. |
- Change From Baseline in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 26 ]Change from baseline in HbA1c after 26 weeks of treatment
- Change From Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 26 ]Change from baseline in body weight after 26 weeks of treatment
- Number of Treatment Emergent Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes [ Time Frame: During 26 weeks of treatment ]Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as either: Severe (i.e., an episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions) or an episode biochemically confirmed by a plasma glucose value of <3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL), with or without symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia.
