Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Subjects randomised to 1.8 mg liraglutide treatment as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will receive 0.6 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks followed by 1.2 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment subjects will receive 1.8 mg liraglutide for 22 weeks. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. intervention 2: Subjects randomised to 1.8 mg liraglutide treatment as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will receive 0.6 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks followed by 1.2 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment subjects will receive 1.8 mg liraglutide for 22 weeks. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. intervention 3: Subjects randomised to 1.8 mg liraglutide treatment as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will receive 0.6 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks followed by 1.2 mg liraglutide for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks of treatment subjects will receive 1.8 mg liraglutide for 22 weeks. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. intervention 4: Subjects randomised to 0.3 mL liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will receive 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL for 2 weeks. After 4 weeks of liraglutide placebo, subjects will receive 0.3 mL for 22 weeks. Administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily. intervention 5: Subjects randomised to 0.3 mL liraglutide placebo as an add-on to their pre-trial insulin treatment will receive 0.1 mL for 2 weeks followed by 0.2 mL for 2 weeks.
