Frequency of Hypoglycaemic Episodes During Treatment With Insulin Detemir in Well Controlled Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

January 26, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Randomised, Open Label, Cross-over, Multi-centre, Multinational Trial Comparing the Frequency of Hypoglycaemic Episodes During Treatment With Insulin Detemir and NPH Insulin in Well Controlled Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes on a Basal-bolus Regimen

This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and Oceania. The aim of this trial is to investigate whether insulin detemir combined with insulin aspart compared to NPH insulin combined with insulin aspart could reduce the frequency of hypoglycaemic episodes whilst maintaining the same degree of glycaemic control subjects with type 1 diabetes.
