| Experimental: Step-wise |
Drug: insulin aspart
Insulin aspart added stepwise according to the largest meal following an evaluation of HbA1c. Doses individually adjusted. Drug: insulin detemir Insulin detemir as basal insulin, adminstered once daily. Doses individually adjusted. |
| Active Comparator: Basal-bolus |
Drug: insulin aspart
Insulin aspart added before each main meal. Doses individually adjusted. Drug: insulin detemir Insulin detemir as basal insulin, adminstered once daily. Doses individually adjusted. |

Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous use of pre-mix or bolus insulin (allowed is previous use of bolus insulin only in case of a hospitalisation or a severe condition requiring intermittent use of bolus insulin for less than 14 consecutive days, but not during the last 6 months prior to screening visit (Visit 1)
- Use of GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists or pramlintide within the last 6 months prior to prior to screening visit (Visit 1)
- Anticipated change in concomitant medication known to interfere significantly with glucose metabolism (e.g. systemic corticosteroids, beta-blockers, MAO (Monoamine oxidase) inhibitors, etc.)
