Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe and South America. The aim of this trial is to compare the glycaemic control of insulin detemir plus insulin aspart with that of insulin NPH plus human soluble insulin in subjects with type 1 diabetes on a basal/bolus regimen.

Interventions

DRUGinsulin detemir

Individually adjusted dose administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) twice daily

DRUGinsulin aspart

Individually adjusted dose administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) prior to meals

DRUGinsulin NPH

Individually adjusted dose administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) twice daily

Individually adjusted dose administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) prior to meals
