Inclusion Criteria
  • Type 2 diabetes (diagnosed clinically) for minimum 24 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2)
  • Current treatment with basal-only insulin (no prandial insulin) consisting of either insulin detemir once daily (OD), insulin glargine OD or neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin OD/twice daily (BID) for at least 12 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2), in combination with stable doses of OAD(s) (metformin, insulin secretagogue (sulfonylurea or glinide), alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, pioglitazone or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor in any approved (according to label) dose or combination. Stable OAD doses are defined as unchanged doses for at least 12 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2)
  • HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) between 7.0-10.0% (both inclusive) by central laboratory analysis
  • Body mass index (BMI) below or equal to 45 kg/m^2
  • Ability and willingness to adhere to the protocol including self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) according to the protocol
Exclusion Criteria
  • Treatment with rosiglitazone within the last 12 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2)
  • Treatment with glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists within the last 12 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2)
  • Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia (more than one severe hypoglycaemic event during the last 12 months) or hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the Investigator (trial physician)
  • Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as randomised. Re-screening is allowed once during the recruitment period
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial products or related products
  • The receipt of any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2)

Rate of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Week 0 to Week 22 + 7 days follow up

Corresponds to rate of AEs per 100 patient years of exposure. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 22 + 7 days follow up

Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.

Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic EpisodesWeek 0 to Week 22 + 7 days follow up

Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
