NCT01068652

Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Africa. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of 50 weeks of treatment with different intensified insulin administrations (all in combination with a fixed dose of metformin) on blood sugar control in subjects with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs).

Study Arms (2)

Detemir + Met

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individually adjusted insulin detemir (Detemir) was given subcutaneoulsy (s.c.) at bedtime in the thigh at an initial dose of 0.1 U/kg once daily for 50 weeks in combination with 1000-2000 mg/day metformin (Met). Pending evaluation of HbA1c every 3 months, individually adjusted insulin aspart was added to the insulin detemir treatment (up to three doses daily for maximum 36 weeks, injected s.c. \[under the skin\]) if treatment target of HbA1c below 7.0% was not reached.

Drug: insulin detemirDrug: insulin aspartDrug: metformin

BIAsp 30 + Met

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individually adjusted biphasic insulin aspart 30 (BIAsp 30) was given subcutaneously (s.c.) in the abdomen at dinner at an initial dose of 0.1 U/kg once daily for 50 weeks in combination with 1000-2000 mg/day metformin (Met). Pending evaluation of HbA1c every 3 months, the dose was intensified up to 3 doses daily, injected s.c. (under the skin) if treatment target of HbA1c below 7.0% was not reached.

Drug: biphasic insulin aspart 30Drug: metformin

Interventions

Initial dose of 0.1 U/kg once daily, injected s.c. (under the skin).

Detemir + Met

Pending evaluation of HbA1c every 3 months, insulin aspart was added to the insulin detemir treatment (up to three does daily, injected s.c. (under the skin)

Detemir + Met
