Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this research is to assess the safety of continuous treatment with insulin detemir following participation in trial NN304-1689 (NCT00435019) on antibody development.

Interventions

DRUGinsulin detemir

Treat-to-target dose titration scheme (individually adjusted), injection s.c. (under the skin), once or twice daily.

DRUGinsulin aspart

Treat-to target dose titration scheme (individually adjusted), injection s.c. (under the skin), at larger meals.

Inclusion criteria

* Informed Consent obtained before any trial-related activities. (Trial-related activities are any procedure that would not have been performed during normal management of the subject). The parents or legal representative of the subject must sign and date the Informed Consent Form. * Finalised 52 weeks of treatment with insulin detemir in trial NN304-1689. * Fertile females (girls who have had their first menstrual period) must use adequate contraception (barrier methods, contraceptive pills or intrauterine device (IUD)) if there is any risk of pregnancy in the opinion of the Investigator. For Denmark and France only contraceptive pills or intrauterine device are considered as adequate contraceptive methods.

Exclusion criteria

* Significant concomitant disease such as endocrine, hepatic, renal, cardiac, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, malignant or pancreatic diseases as judged by the Investigator. * Pregnant or the intention of becoming pregnant. * Previous participation in this trial (defined as enrolment).

The primary analysis of cross-reacting antibodies included results from blood samples taken before insulin detemir and less than 3 hours after insulin aspart injection. In addition, an analysis was done including results from samples taken before insulin detemir and less than 2.5 hours after insulin aspart injection.

Pre-assignment details

At entry subjects had finalised 52-weeks treatment with insulin detemir plus insulin aspart (Trial NN304-1689, NCT00435019). Subjects treated with NPH insulin plus insulin aspart in trial NN304-1689 were not offered to continue in this extension trial. Subjects continued treatment with insulin detemir and insulin aspart doses from trial NN304-1689.
