Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effect on blood sugar control of insulin detemir and insulin aspart or insulin detemir alone administered by a insulin pen PDS290 (FlexTouch®) versus a Novo Nordisk marketed insulin pen (FlexPen®) in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the subject's preference of the devices will be investigated by the use of questionnaires.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PDS290 --> FlexPen®

Subjects will receive trial drug with PDS290 for 12 weeks (treatment sequence 1) followed by FlexPen® for 12 weeks (treatment sequence 2)

* Subjects diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If type 2 diabetics, treatment with or without oral anti diabetic medication is allowed
* Current users of vial/syringe (pen naïve) treated with short-acting insulin (insulin aspart, glulisine or lispro) and once daily long-acting insulin (detemir or glargine) or once daily long-acting insulin (detemir or glargine) alone
* Treatment with insulin (i.e. aspart, glulisine, lispro, detemir or glargine) for at least 6 months
* Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 45.0 kg/m\^2
* HbA1c less than or equal to 9.0% at screening visit based on analysis from central laboratory
* Able and willing to adhere to the trial-specific insulin regimen for the entire trial period

Exclusion Criteria

* Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or inadequate contraceptive techniques during the trial period (adequate contraceptive measures are considered as intrauterine device, oral contraceptives and barrier methods)
* Previous participation in this trial (screening visit)
* Systemic drugs that may influence glycaemic control (e.g., corticosteroids)
* Known or suspected allergy to trial product(s) or related products
* Known or suspected abuse of alcohol or drug abuse
* Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation
* Previous treatment with sitagliptin
* Clinically significant, active (or over the past 12 months) disease of the gastrointestinal, neurological, genitourinary, or haematological systems
* Cardiac disease defined as: Decompensated heart failure (New York Heart class III or IV, unstable angina pectoris within the past 6 months of study enrolment, myocardial infarction within the past 12 months and a clinically significant history of arrhythmias or conduction delays on electrocardiogram (ECG) over the past 12 months
* Any other severe acute or chronic illness as judged by the Investigator
* Recurrent major hypoglycaemia (defined as severe central nervous system dysfunction associated with hypoglycaemia, requiring the assistance of another person) or hypoglycaemia unawareness (defined as a condition in which subjects no longer experience the usual warning signs of hypoglycaemia; the symptoms of hypoglycaemia may be different, less pronounced or even absent) or hospitalisation for diabetic ketoacidosis during the previous six months
* Any other conditions that the Investigator judges would interfere with trial participation or evaluation of results (i.e. planned any diagnostic or therapeutic medical intervention such as surgery)
* Participated in another clinical trial and received an investigational drug within the last 4 weeks
