Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to compare the glycaemic control of biphasic insulin aspart (BIAsp) 70 and/or BIAsp 50 with biphasic human insulin (BHI) 30 treatment.

Interventions

Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Randomised subjects being obese with a body mass index (BMI) exceeding 30 kg/m\^2 will receive BIAsp 50
