PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0, Week 26

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) includes all randomised subjects and missing data was imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF). 2 subjects were withdrawn prior to exposure to the study drug in the IDeg arm as they were randomised in error and 1 subject in the IGlar arm.
