Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Mix30 |
Drug: biphasic insulin aspart 30
The insulin (biphasic insulin aspart 30) injected subcutaneously immediately before breakfast and dinner.

- Rate of Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic Episodes [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up ]Rate of major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL.
- Rate of Nocturnal Major and Minor Hypoglycaemic Episodes [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up ]Rate of nocturnal major and minor hypoglycaemic episodes per patient year (1year=365.25days) of exposure (PYE). Major if unable to treat her/himself. Minor if able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose ≤ 55 mg/dL. Episodes were defined as nocturnal if the time of onset was between 23:00 and 05:59 (both inclusive).
- Number of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Week 0 to Week 6 + 5 days follow up ]Corresponds to number of adverse events. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.
- Change in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 6 ]Change from baseline in body weight after 6 weeks of treatment
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) Worsening [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 6 ]The number of subjects having an electrocardiogram (ECG) that changed from 'Normal' or 'Abnormal, not clinically significant' to 'Abnormal, clinically significant'. 'Abnormal, Clinically significant' is an abnormality that suggests a disease and/or organ toxicity and is of a severity, which requires active management.
- Diastolic BP (Blood Pressure) [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 6 ]Values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 6
- Systolic BP (Blood Pressure) [ Time Frame: Week 0, Week 6. ]Values at baseline (Week 0) and at Week 6
