Current Primary Outcome MeasuresGlycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [Time Frame: After 26 weeks of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c measured in blood samples after 26 weeks of treatment.
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • 9-point Self-measured Plasma Glucose Profiles [Time Frame: After 26 weeks of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]Glycaemic control measured by 9-point self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) profiles. The 9 time points for self-measurement during the day were: Before breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch, before dinner, 2 hours after dinner, before bedtime, at 2-4 AM, and before breakfast the following day. Hypoglycaemia episodes were defined as major or minor. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL.
  • Number of Subjects Achieving the Treatment Target for Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [Time Frame: After 26 weeks of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]The number of subjects achieving the treatment target for glycosylated haemoglobin A1c after 26 weeks treatment. The treatment targets were: HbA1c <= 6.5% of haemoglobin and HbA1c < 7% of haemoglobin.
  • Treatment Satisfaction as Measured by the Diabetes Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (Diab MedSat) [Time Frame: After 26 weeks of treatment] [Designated as safety issue: No]Subjects assessed the burden, efficacy, symptoms and overall score in the treatment satisfaction questionnaire, Diab MedSat (Diabetes Medication Satisfaction questionnaire). The scores were transformed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. The score of the subscales was computed as the mean of the items in each subscale.
  • Number of Hypoglycaemic Episodes [Time Frame: Weeks 0-26] [Designated as safety issue: No]Total number of hypoglycaemic episodes experienced in each treatment arm. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with either no plasma glucose or blood glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL.
  • Number of Subjects Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events [Time Frame: Weeks 0-26] [Designated as safety issue: No]Number of subjects reporting treatment emergent adverse events during the trial (from week 0 to week 26). Adverse events were reported as treatment emergent if they occurred from the date of first insulin trial product administration up to and including the date of last insulin trial product administration.
