Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Subjects are excluded from the trial if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products. 2. Previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as randomisation. Re-screening is allowed, however there must be at least 90 days between screenings. 3.

Receipt of any investigational medicinal product within 30 days before screening. 5. Any disorder, which, in the opinion of the investigator, might jeopardise subjectâ??s safety or compliance with the protocol. 6. Any laboratory safety parameter at screening outside the below extended laboratory ranges: • ALT >=5 times the upper normal limit (UNL) • ALT >=3 times the UNL and bilirubin >=1.5 times the UNL • Creatinine >UNL for age in children unless renal function is proven normal by further assessments at the discretion of the investigator • C-peptide • calcitonin >=50 ng/L 7. Personal or first degree relative(s) history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 or medullary thyroid carcinoma. 8. History or presence of pancreatitis (acute or chronic). 9. Known history of heart disease (including history of clinically significant arrhythmias or conduction delays on ECG) within 180 days of visit 1, new clinically significant arrhythmias or conduction delays on ECG identified at visit 1. 10. Known hypoglycaemic unawareness as indicated by the investigator according to Clarkeâ??s questionnaire question 83. 11. Recurrent severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year as judged by the investigator. 12. Uncontrolled hypertension, treated or untreated, >99th percentile for age and gender in children and adolescents. If â??white coat hypertension ? is suspected at visit 1 a repeat blood pressure measurement either during visit 1 or at visit 2 prior to other trial related activities is allowed, with the last measurement being conclusive. 13. Treatment with any medication for the indication of diabetes other than stated in the inclusion criteria in a period of 90 days before screening. However, short-term treatment with bolus insulin for a metabolic decompensation/intercurrent illness for a maximum of 14 days prior to the day of visit 1 is allowed. 14. Uncontrolled and potentially unstable diabetic retinopathy or maculopathy documented by an ophthalmologic examination of the retina preferably supported by a fundus photography or optical coherence tomography within the past 90 days prior to screening or in the period between screening and randomisation (visit 2). Pharmacological pupil-dilation is a requirement unless using a digital fundus photography camera specified for non-dilated examination. 15. Presence or history of malignant neoplasm within 5 years prior to the day of screening. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in-situ is allowed. 16. Diagnosis of type 1 diabetes 17. Positive insulinoma associated-protein 2 (IA-2) antibodies or anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies. 18. Maturity ons
