Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart
Subjects received insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) subcutaneously (s.c.; under the skin) in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen for a duration of 16-28 weeks (8-20 weeks treatment initiation period \[pre-Ramadan\], 4-week Ramadan treatment period, and 4 week post-Ramadan period). IDegAsp was administered twice daily (BID) during the entire treatment period with the breakfast/lunch meal and evening meal (during Ramadan Suhur and Iftar), with or without OADs. Subjects on pre-trial basal, premixed or self-mixed insulin therapy were converted unit-to-unit to trial insulin, BID IDegAsp at the same total insulin dose as the subject's pre-trial total daily insulin dose. Subjects used a fixed dose adjustment titration algorithm and there was no minimum or maximum dose for trial products. To optimise and maintain glycaemic control, IDegAsp dose was adjusted based on the subjects' SMPG values, measured twice daily during pre-Ramadan and post-Ramadan and 4 times daily during Ramadan.

Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30
Subjects received biphasic insulin aspart 30 (BIAsp 30) s.c. in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen for a duration of 16-28 weeks (8-20 weeks treatment initiation period \[pre-Ramadan\], 4-week Ramadan treatment period, and 4 week post-Ramadan period). BIAsp 30 was administered BID during the entire treatment period with the breakfast/lunch meal and evening meal (during Ramadan Suhur and Iftar), with or without oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs). Subjects on pre-trial basal, premixed or self-mixed insulin therapy were converted unit-to-unit to trial insulin, BID BIAsp 30 at the same total insulin dose as the subject's pre-trial total daily insulin dose. Subjects used a fixed dose adjustment titration algorithm and there was no minimum or maximum dose for trial products. To optimise and maintain glycaemic control, BIAsp 30 dose was adjusted based on the subjects' self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values, measured twice daily during pre-Ramadan and post-Ramadan, and 4 times daily during Ramadan

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: From week 0 to 4 weeks post RamadanPopulation: Analysis was based on the safety analysis set (SAS), which included all subjects receiving at least 1 dose of the investigational product (IDegAsp) or its comparator (BIAsp 30).
Treatment-emergent hypoglycaemic episodes: If the onset of the episode occurred on or after the first day of investigational medicinal product (IMP; IDegAsp/BIAsp 30) administration, and no later than 1 day after the last day on IMP, before switching to or being treated with another insulin product. The above mentioned definitions (in endpoint title) should read as the following: Novo Nordisk definition; severe or blood glucose (BG) confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia: An episode that was severe according to ADA classification or BG confirmed by a plasma glucose (PG) value \<3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. American Diabetes Association (ADA) definition; documented symptomatic hypoglycaemia: An episode, during which typical symptoms of hypoglycaemia were accompanied by a measured PG concentration ≤3.9 mmol/L (70 mg/dL). Due to character limitation, severe hypoglycaemia as per ADA classification is not defined here; see next outcome measure.

Number of treatment-emergent severe or BG confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes, which occurred between 00:01 and 05:59 both inclusive. Novo Nordisk definition; severe or blood glucose (BG) confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia: An episode that was severe according to ADA classification or BG confirmed by a plasma glucose (PG) value \<3.1 mmol/L (56 mg/dL) with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. Severe hypoglycaemia as per ADA classification: An episode requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or take other corrective actions. Plasma glucose concentrations may not be available during an event, but neurological recovery following the return of plasma glucose to normal is considered sufficient evidence that the event was induced by a low plasma glucose concentration.

Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30
n=132 participants at risk
Subjects received BIAsp 30 s.c. in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen for a duration of 16-28 weeks (8-20 weeks treatment initiation period \[pre-Ramadan\], 4-week Ramadan treatment period, and 4 week post-Ramadan period). BIAsp 30 was administered BID during the entire treatment period with the breakfast/lunch meal and evening meal (during Ramadan Suhur and Iftar), with or without OADs. Subjects on pre-trial basal, premixed or self-mixed insulin therapy were converted unit-to-unit to trial insulin, BID BIAsp 30 at the same total insulin dose as the subject's pre-trial total daily insulin dose. Subjects used a fixed dose adjustment titration algorithm and there was no minimum or maximum dose for trial products. To optimise and maintain glycaemic control, BIAsp 30 dose was adjusted based on the subjects' SMPG values, measured twice daily during pre-Ramadan and post-Ramadan, and 4 times daily during Ramadan.

Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart
n=130 participants at risk
Subjects received IDegAsp s.c. in the thigh, upper arm or abdomen for a duration of 16-28 weeks (8-20 weeks treatment initiation period \[pre-Ramadan\], 4-week Ramadan treatment period, and 4 week post-Ramadan period). IDegAsp was administered BID during the entire treatment period with the breakfast/lunch meal and evening meal (during Ramadan Suhur and Iftar), with or without OADs. Subjects on pre-trial basal, premixed or self-mixed insulin therapy were converted unit-to-unit to trial insulin, BID IDegAsp at the same total insulin dose as the subject's pre-trial total daily insulin dose. Subjects used a fixed dose adjustment titration algorithm and there was no minimum or maximum dose for trial products. To optimise and maintain glycaemic control, IDegAsp dose was adjusted based on the subjects' SMPG values, measured twice daily during pre-Ramadan and post-Ramadan and 4 times daily during Ramadan.
