Participant Flow

The trial was conducted at 20 sites in 4 countries as follows: Germany: 1 site; Malaysia: 2 sites; Turkey: 1 site; United States: 16 sites. The subjects in this trial were to continue from trial NN5401-3941 (NCT01680341).

Subjects who did not reach the HbA1c target \< 7.0% on IDegAsp BID after 26 weeks of treatment in trial NN5401-3941 were enrolled in this trial.

Measure
IDegAsp BID + IAsp OD
Subjects randomised to insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) twice daily (BID) + insulin aspart (IAsp) once daily (OD) , at the discretion of the investigator, started the doses of IDegAsp at week 26 in trial NN5401-3941 with breakfast and main evening meal and added 4 units of IAsp at lunch. IDegAsp was administered subcutaneously (s.c.) by injection in the thigh, the upper arm (deltoid area) or the abdominal wall. The chosen area of injection had to be the same throughout the trial, with rotation within a given region recommended. IAsp was injected s.c. with the main meal OD, preferably into the abdominal wall in accordance with local labelling. Additional doses of IAsp were only allowed, if needed due to intercurrent illness. Titration (self-titration) of both IDegAsp and IAsp was done once weekly. Titration of IAsp could also be done based on carbohydrate counting but at the investigator's discretion. IAsp dose reduction had to be done based on the investigator's discretion.
IDeg OD + IAsp TID
Subjects randomised to insulin degludec (IDeg) OD + IAsp thrice daily (TID) were, at the discretion of the investigator, to start with 70% of the total daily dose of IDegAsp taken at Week 26 in trial NN5401-3941 as IDeg OD and 30% as IAsp divided into 3 doses. IDeg was administered s.c. by injection in the thigh, the upper arm (deltoid area) or the abdominal wall and the chosen area of injection had to be the same throughout the trial. Rotation of injection sites within a given region was recommended. The OD injection time could be changed from day to day. IAsp was injected s.c. with the main meals TID, preferably into the abdominal wall in accordance with local labelling. Additional doses of IAsp were only allowed, if needed. Titration (self-titration) of IDeg and IAsp was performed once weekly. Titration of IAsp could also be done based on carbohydrate counting but at the investigator's discretion. IAsp dose reduction had to be done based on the investigator's discretion.
