Measure
IDegLira
Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 U/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values that were measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50 U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.
IGlar
Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.

IDegLira
n=210 Participants
Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 U/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values that were measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50 U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.
IGlar
n=210 Participants
Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]).

IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.

Number analysed = Number of subjects contributed to the analysis at baseline and week 26 for overall physical and mental scores.

The Short Form (SF)-36v2™ patient reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire was used to assess the subject's overall health related quality of life (HRQoL). PRO questionnaire (SF-36v2™) measured the HRQoL which contains 36 items covering 8 domains of physical and mental health status. The raw scale scores from the SF-36 were transformed to a 0-100 scale scores (where higher scores indicated a better health status) which is further converted to norm-based scores using a T-score transformation in order to obtain a direct interpretation in relation to the distribution of the scores in the 2009 reference population . The total/overall (SF-36v2™) scores for physical and mental health from baseline to week 26 are presented here.

IDegLira
n=209 participants at risk
Subjects were administered with insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira: 100 U/3.6 mg per mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IDegLira was supplied in a 3 mL prefilled PDS290 pen-injector with a fixed IDeg/liraglutide ratio of 100 U/3.6 mg per mL solution. IDegLira treatment was initiated at 10 dose steps (containing 10 units IDeg /0.36 mg liraglutide) and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values that were measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). The maximum daily dose was 50 dose steps (50 U IDeg /1.8 mg Lira). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label. The randomised subjects would be on either SGLT2i monotherapy or SGLT2i ± metformin ± pioglitazone, this treatment was to be unchanged throughout the trial, unless there was a safety concern.
IGlar
n=210 participants at risk
Subjects were administered with insulin glargine (IGlar: 100 U/mL) subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily for a duration of 26 weeks. IGlar was supplied in a 3 mL pre-filled Solostar® pen at 100 U/mL solution. IGlar treatment was initiated with the starting dose of 10 U and adjusted twice weekly on fixed days. Dose adjustment was based on the mean of three pre-breakfast self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) values measured on the days of the titration and two days prior to the titration (target SMPG: 4.0-5.0 mmol/L \[72 - 90 mg/dL\]). Pre-trial OAD treatments were continued according to current local label.
