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 COMPARATORIndividually 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.
BIAsp 30 + Met
ACTIVE COMPARATORIndividually 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.
Interventions
Initial dose of 0.1 U/kg once daily, injected s.c. (under the skin).
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)
Initial dose of 0.1 U/kg once daily, injected s.c. (under the skin). Pending evaluation of HbA1c every 3 months, the dose will intensified up to 3 doses daily
