Brief summary

This study compares insulin icodec (a new insulin taken once a week) to insulin degludec (an insulin taken once daily which is already available on the market) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study will look at how well insulin icodec taken weekly controls blood sugar compared to insulin degludec taken daily. Participants will either get insulin icodec that participants will have to inject once a week on the same day of the week or insulin degludec that participants will have to inject once a day at the same time every day. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The insulin is injected with a needle in a skin fold in the thigh, upper arm or stomach. The study will last for about 8 months. Participants will have 17 clinic visits and 13 phone calls with the study doctor. At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 4 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (except for water) for 8 hours before the visit. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures their blood sugar all the time in 3 periods for a total of 13 weeks (about 3 months) during the study. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.

ArmCount
Insulin Icodec
Participants were to receive once weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of Insulin icodec for 26 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a starting dose of 7 times the pre-trial total daily basal insulin dose + 50% of their 7 times total daily basal insulin dose. The following weekly dose was 7 times the total daily dose of the respective participants ('unit to unit switch' approach: current daily dose x 7). Participants were to perform once daily pre-breakfast self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG). The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: \< 4.4 millimoles per liter (mmol/L): dose reduced by 3 units (U); 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; \> 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 3 U.
263
Insulin Degludec
Participants were to receive once daily s.c. injection of Insulin degludec for 26 weeks, using PDS290 prefilled pen-injector at a dose in accordance with local label. Participants were to perform once daily SMPG. The dose was adjusted based on 3 pre-breakfast SMPG values measured on the 2 previous days and the day of the contact. If at least one pre-breakfast SMPG value was: \< 4.4 mmol/L: dose reduced by 20 U; 4.4-7.2 mmol/L: no adjustment; \> 7.2 mmol/L: dose increased by 20 U.
