Insulin Degludec and Symptomatic Nocturnal Hypoglycaemia

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether insulin degludec compared to insulin glargine can reduce the risk of symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycaemia in subjects with the greatest potential benefit from optimised insulin treatment, which are patients with type 1 diabetes and high risk of nocturnal severe hypoglycaemia.
