Pre-assignment Detail Non-pregnant women were randomised immediately after it was established that they fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Thus, they were exposed to insulin detemir (IDet) throughout organogenesis. Pregnant subjects were to be randomised after completion of the 8th gestational week (GW) and before the completion of 12th GW
Arm/Group Title Insulin Detemir Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) Insulin
Arm/Group Description Individually adjusted insulin detemir injected subcutaneously as basal insulin + individually adjusted insulin aspart injected subcutaneously as bolus insulin from randomisation (gestational week 8-12) and continued until 6 weeks after delivery. If a subject was not pregnant at randomisation, treatment was given up to a maximum of 52 weeks. For subjects who became pregnant, randomised treatment was continued until 6 weeks after delivery. Subjects who were not pregnant at 52 weeks after randomisation were withdrawn Individually adjusted NPH insulin injected subcutaneously as basal insulin + individually adjusted insulin aspart injected subcutaneously as bolus insulin from randomisation (gestational week 8-12) and continued until 6 weeks after delivery. If a subject was not pregnant at randomisation, treatment was given up to a maximum of 52 weeks. For subjects who became pregnant, randomised treatment was continued until 6 weeks after delivery.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Insulin Detemir, Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) Insulin
Comments Non-inferiority analysis with a null hypothesis stated that the difference between treatments, IDet-NPH, was equal to or larger than the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 0.4%. In case non-inferiority was established it was also investigated if IDet was superior to NPH with a null hypothesis stating that the difference between IDet and NPH treatment groups is equal to or greater than 0.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
Comments Non-inferiority can only be declared if the non-inferiority criterion was fulfilled for both (FAS and Per-protocol) analysis sets. Non-inferiority was declared if the upper limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the estimated treatment difference was below 0.4%.

Title Safety - Composite Pregnancy Outcome
Description Wt. corresponds to weight of live-born infants. Pre-term delivery: delivery before 37 completed GWs including abortions. Early foetal death: death before 22 completed GWs.
