Title: A 24-week, National, Single-centre, Open-labelled, Randomised, Parallel-group Trial Comparing Energy Expenditure With Insulin Detemir Versus NPH Insulin Using a Basal-bolus Regimen With Insulin Aspart as the Mealtime Insulin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes
Brief Summary: This is a study designed to compare the effects of 2 long-acting insulins, detemir and insulatard, on energy expenditure,weight, fat composition, gut hormone profiles, glycaemic control and fat and muscle gene expression over a 6 month period.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Duration of diabetes mellitus for at least 2 years
* Current treatment of basal-bolus regimen for at least 12 weeks using an intermediate/long-acting human insulin and insulin aspart
* HbA1C below 11.0%

Exclusion Criteria:

* Impaired renal function
* Impaired hepatic function
* Serious heart diseases
* Known hypoglycaemia unawareness or recurrent major hypoglycaemia
* Proliferative retinopathy or maculopathy requiring acute treatment
* Uncontrolled treated/untreated hypertension
* Current treatment with total insulin dose of more than 100 IU/day
* Current treatment or expected at the screening to start treatment with systemic corticosteroids
B: Inclusion Criteria

* Insulin-naïve type 2 diabetes mellitus
* Type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosed for at least 1 year
* Treated with at least one OAD (Metformin \[daily dose of at least 1000mg\], Sulfonylurea, glinides or alpha-glucosidase inhibitor) at stable dose for at least 3 months.
* HbA1c \> or = 7.0% and \< or = 10.5%
* BMI \< 40 kg/m²
* Ability and willingness to perform plasma glucose monitoring using the sponsor-provided glucose meter and patient diary at home
* Informed consent obtained in writing at enrolment into the study
* Willingness and ability to comply with the study protocol

Exclusion criteria:

* Treatment with GLP-1 agonists or with DPP-IV inhibitors in the 3 months prior to study entry
* Treatment with TZD as monotherapy
* Diabetes mellitus other than Type 2 (e.g. secondary to pancreatic disorders, drugs or chemical agents intake...)
* Active proliferative retinopathy, as defined by a photocoagulation or vitrectomy occurrence in the 6 months prior to visit 1, or any other unstable (rapidly progressing) retinopathy that may require photocoagulation or surgical treatment during the study (an optic fundus examination should have been performed within the 2 years prior to study entry)
* Impaired renal function: serum creatinine \> or =1.5 mg/dL (\> or = 133µmol/L) or \> or = 1.4 mg/dL (\> or = 124 µmol/L) in men and women, respectively
* History of sensitivity to the study drugs or to drugs with a similar chemical structure
* Impaired hepatic function (ALT and/or AST \> 3 x upper limit of normal range)
* Pregnant or lactating women (women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at study entry and a medically approved contraception method),
* Treatment with systemic corticosteroids within the 3 months prior to study entry or likelihood of requiring treatments during the study which are not permitted.
* Treatment with an investigational product in the 30 days prior to visit 1
* Alcohol or drug abuse in the last year
* Presence of any condition (medical, psychological, social or geographical), current or anticipated that the Investigator feels would compromise the patient's safety or limit the patient successful participation in the study (including night shift worker)

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Insulin naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with oral hypoglycemic agents
* Body mass index between 26 and 40 kg/m2
* HbA1c between 7.5% and 10.0%
* Fasting plasma glucose \>7.8 mmol/L and fasting C-peptide \> or =0.25 nmol/L
D: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Type 2 diabetes
2. Treated with metformin
3. Already on treatment with a long-acting or intermediate insulin.
4. Over 18 years of age,
5. HbA1c \> 7.0%
6. BMI 27-40
7. Able and willing to perform self-blood glucose monitoring.
8. Able and willing to maintain consistent eating habits throughout the entire trial period.
9. Able and willing to maintain consistent physical activity level during the entire trial period

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients on sulphonylureas or thiazolidinediones
2. Proliferative retinopathy that has required acute treatment within the last six months.
3. Impaired hepatic or renal functions.
4. Cardiac problems.
5. Uncontrolled hypertension (treated or untreated).
6. Mental incapacity, unwillingness or a language barrier precluding adequate understanding or co-operation.
