Conditions: Diabetes; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Summary: trial comparing effect and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart vs. insulin glargine plus insulin aspart in subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin with or without oral antidiabetic treatment in need of treatment intensification.
