Summary:

      This study compares insulin 287 (a possible new medicine) to insulin glargine (a medicine
      doctors can already prescribe) in people with type 2 diabetes. Different ways of switching
      from the insulin which the participants are already on to insulin 287 are also compared. This
      is done to find the best way to switch to insulin 287. The participants will either get
      insulin 287 that they will have to inject once a week or insulin glargine that they will have
      to inject once a day. Which treatment any participant gets is decided by chance. The study
      will last for about 5 months (23 weeks). The participants will have 14 clinic visits and 6
      phone calls with the study doctor. At 3 of the clinic visits participants will be asked not
      to eat or drink anything (except for water) in the last 8 hours before the visit. During the
      study, the doctor will ask the participants to: 1) measure their blood sugar every day with a
      blood sugar meter using a finger prick; 2) write down different information in a diary daily
      and return this to their study doctor. 3) wear a medical device (sensor) that measures the
      participants blood sugar all the time for 18 weeks (about 4 months) during the study.

             inclusive) greater than or equal to 90 days prior to the day of screening.

          -  Stable daily dose(s) for 90 days prior to the day of screening of any of the following
             antidiabetic drug(s) or combination regime(s):

               1. Any metformin formulations greater than or equal to 1500 mg or maximum tolerated
                  or effective dose (as documented in subject's medical records).

               2. Free or fixed combination therapy: Metformin as outlined above with or without
                  dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) with or without sodium-glucose
                  cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is allowed: 1) DPP4i (greater than or equal
                  to half of the maximum approved dose according to local label or maximum
                  tolerated or effective dose); 2) SGLT2i (greater than or equal to half of the
                  maximum approved dose according to local label or maximum tolerated or effective
                  dose.

          -  Body mass index (BMI) less than or equal to 40.0 kg/m^2.
