Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; FAS, full analysis set; faster aspart, fast‐acting insulin aspart; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin; NPH, neutral protamine Hagedorn. The conversion factor used for glucose between mmol/L and mg/dL was 0.0555.
*n = 115; †n = 119. Values for baseline characteristics are arithmetic means, unless stated otherwise.
