A Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Insulin Degludec With Insulin Glargine on Glycaemic Control Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

A Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Insulin Degludec With Insulin Glargine on Glycaemic Control Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare the efficacy of insulin decludec with insulin glargine on glycaemic control using continuous glucose monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Type 1 diabetes
• HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) below or equal to 8.5%
• Current treatment with IGlar (insulin glargine) in a basal-bolus regimen with a total daily dose below 120 U
• BMI (body mass index) below 35 kg/m^2

Exclusion Criteria:

• Use within the last 3 months prior to visit 1 (screening) of any antidiabetic glucose lowering drug other than insulin/insulin analogues
• Subjects with regular use of acetaminophen who are not willing to use another analgetic during CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) periods
• Stroke; heart failure; myocardial infarction; unstable angina pectoris; coronary arterial bypass graft or angioplasty within 24 weeks prior to visit 1
• Recurrent severe hypoglycemia (more than one severe hypoglycemic event during the last 12 months) or hypoglycemia unawareness or hospitalization for diabetic ketoacidosis during the previous 6 months
