Efficacy and Safety of Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart in Insulin-naïve Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Using Two Dosing Regimens

Summary

This trial is conducted in Asia and North America. The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) once daily in insulin-naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus when using two different titration algorithms (dose individually adjusted) as add-on to subject's ongoing treatment with metformin.
