A Trial Investigating the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties of Insulin Icodec in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

The aim of the study is to improve clinical outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes by limiting the burden associated with insulin treatment.

Participants will get insulin degludec as well as insulin icodec - Insulin icodec is a new medicine while insulin degludec is commonly used and prescribed by doctors.

Participants will administer subcutaneous injections of insulin degludec once daily for at least one week (7 injections) but this period may be extended up to 8 weeks. Thereafter, once weekly subcutaneous injections of insulin icodec will follow, resulting in a total of at least 8 but not more than 16 subcutaneous injections of icodec.

The study will last for about 17-32 weeks Participants will have at least 5 in-house visits (where participants will stay at the clinic) and 17 outpatient visits with the study doctor.
