Overview

Brief Summary

This study compares insulin icodec, taken once a week, with other basal insulins, taken once a day, in people with type 2 diabetes.The purpose of this study is to see how well the approved injectable weekly insulin icodec maintains blood sugar levels when compared to approved and available daily injectable basal insulins in people with type 2 diabetes. The participants will either be prescribed weekly insulin icodec or a daily basal insulin (insulin glargine, insulin detemir or insulin degludec) based on current standards for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The study will last for about 13 months.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosed with T2D greater than or equal to (≥) 180 days prior to the day of screening.
  • Treatment with any of the following non-insulin glucose-lowering medication(s) or combination regimen(s) at the time of screening:
  • Metformin, Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides (glinides), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, Thiazolidinediones, Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, Oral combination products (for the allowed individual oral antidiabetic drugs), Oral or injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and Injectable dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptides (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist.
  • Need of intensification with basal insulin, as indicated at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Recorded HbA1c value ≥7% within the last 90 days prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products.
  • Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as signed informed consent.
