Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in the Percentage of HbA1c [Week 0, Week 26]

    Change from baseline (week 0) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period. In-trial period: the observation period from date of randomisation until last trial-related participant-site contact and included data collected after a subject discontinued trial product.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change in 8-point SMPG Profile: Mean PPG Over All Three Meals [Week 0, Week 26]

    Change from baseline (week 0) in mean post prandial glucose (PPG) over all three meals was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. PPG for each meal (breakfast, lunch and main evening meal) was recorded by the participant as part of the 8-point self-measured plasma glucose (SMPG) profile. Mean PPG over all three meals was derived as the mean of all corresponding mean meal. The results are based on the last in-trial value.

  2. Change in 8-point SMPG Profile: PPG Increment Over All Three Meals [Week 0, Week 26]

    Change from baseline (week 0) in mean PPG increment over all three meals was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. Postprandial glucose (PPG) increment for each meal (breakfast, lunch and main evening meal) was derived from the 8-point profile as the difference between PPG (1 hour after the meal) values and the plasma glucose (PG) value before meal. The mean of the derived increments was then calculated separately for each meal. Mean PPG increment over all three meals was derived as the mean of all corresponding mean meal increments. The results are based on the last in-trial value.

  3. Change in 8-point SMPG Profile: Individual Meal (Breakfast, Lunch and Main Evening Meal) PPG [Week 0, Week 26]

Pre-assignment Detail 12-week run-in period: Participants were switched from previous insulin treatment to insulin degludec once daily, and mealtime NovoRapid®/NovoLog®. Insulin degludec treatment was optimised on a weekly basis to the pre-breakfast glycaemic target of 4.0-8.0 mmol/L. Out of 834 participants, who started the run-in period, 57 were run-in failures.
Arm/Group Title Faster Aspart (Meal) Faster Aspart (Post) NovoRapid (Meal)
Arm/Group Description Bolus insulin: Participants received subcutaneous (s.c., into the abdominal wall) injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (0-2 minutes before the meal) during the 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the pre-meal target of 4.0-8.0 mmol/L, and the bed-time target of 6.7-10 mmol/L in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections from the dose optimization process during the 12-week run-in period till 26-week treatment period. Dose adjustment during the treatment period at the discretion of the investigator was allowed if needed. Bolus insulin: Participants received s.c. injections of faster-acting insulin aspart at mealtime (20 minutes after the start of the meal) during the 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the premeal target of 4.0-8.0 mmol/L, and the bed-time target of 6.7-10 mmol/L in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections from the dose optimization process during the 12-week run-in period till 26-week treatment period. Dose adjustment during the treatment period at the discretion of the investigator was allowed if needed. Bolus insulin: After 12-week run-in period, participants continued using mealtime insulin aspart (NovoRapid®/NovoLog®) s.c. injections at mealtime (0-2 minutes before the meal) during the 26-week treatment period. Throughout the trial, the insulin was administered at each of the three main meals (i.e. breakfast, lunch and main evening meal). The insulin was titrated to the pre-meal target of 4.0-8.0 mmol/L, and the bed-time target of 6.7-10 mmol/L in a treat-to-target fashion. Basal insulin: Participants continued insulin degludec once daily s.c. injections from the dose optimization process during the 12-week run-in period till 26-week treatment period. Dose adjustment during the treatment period at the discretion of the investigator was allowed if needed.

Title Change in 30-minute PPG Increment
Description Change from baseline (week 0) in 30-minute PPG increment based on meal test was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. In connection to wearing the CGM for 11 to 13 days up to week 0 and up to week 26, the subgroup of participants had a standardised liquid meal test at the 2 visits, monitoring the pre-prandial glucose (before the meal) the PPG at 30-minute (after the meal) at the visit. PPG increment was derived as 30-minute PPG measurement minus the pre-prandial PG. The results are based on the last in-trial value.

Title Change in AUCIG,0-4h
Description Change in area under the IG curve 0-4 hours post meal (AUCIG,0-4h) during meal test and based on CGM measurements was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. IG was measured every 5 minutes. The endpoint was calculated as the area under the IG curve using the trapezoidal method and weighted by duration. A subgroup of participants wore a CGM for between 11 and 13 days up to week 0 (randomisation) and up to week 26 to monitor their IG on a continuous basis. The results are based on the last in-trial value.

Title Change in SD Score of Body Weight
Description Change from baseline (week 0) in standard deviation (SD) score of body weight was evaluated after 26 weeks of randomisation. SD-scores are defined to be able to normalise the body weight in the various age groups. To estimate the growth of children, standardised weight is calculated for each year of age and for each sex. Thus, a child with a weight equal to the mean value for its age and sex has an SD score of 0, while a child with a weight 2 SDs above the mean value for its age and sex has an SD score of +2. The SD scores are derived from the age and sex of the subjects and the body weight together with growth curves defined for a reference population. The results are based on the last on-treatment value. Number of participants analysed = number of participants contributed to the analysis.
