Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate long-term pulmonary safety profiles comparing preprandial inhaled human insulin with preprandial subcutaneous (sc) injections of insulin aspart, both in combination with basal insulin and/or oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), in subjects with diabetes and asthma.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to compare the two treatment groups with respect to: •Long-term safety profiles as measured by electrocardiogram (ECG), funduscopy/fundusphotography, vital signs, physical examination, body weight, laboratory assessments and adverse events (AEs) •Incidence of hypoglycaemic episodes •Glycaemic control as measured by HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose analysed by central laboratory (FPGLab) •Bolus insulin doses •PROs: asthma control questionnaire (ACQ), insulin treatment satisfaction questionnaire (ITSQ) and environmental tobacco smoke questionnaire (ETS-Q) ;Primary end point(s): Changes in PFTs: FEV_1, FVC, FRC, RV, TLC, and D_L,CO as percent of predicted value from baseline (Visit 2) to 52 weeks of treatment Frequency of asthma exacerbations during 52 weeks of treatment Frequency of night-time awakenings due to asthma during 52 weeks of treatment Frequency and doses of asthma medication during 52 weeks of treatment Changes in X-ray from baseline (Visit 2) to 52 weeks of treatment
