FPG, fasting plasma glucose; IDegAsp, insulin degludec/insulin aspart; IGlar, insulin glargine; OAD, oral antidiabetic drug.

All data are means (sd), unless otherwise specified.

*Calculated, not measured.

40.2% of participants were on one OAD at screening; 45.1% of participants used two OADs (biguanide was used by all these participants and the second OAD was most commonly sulphonylurea or glinide). Thiazolidinedione was used by ~12.1% of participants overall. All OADs other than metformin, pioglitazone and dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors were discontinued at the start of the trial period.

n = 228; n = 231.
