Treatment
Semaglutide
Subjects will receive subcutaneous (s.c., under the skin) injections of semaglutide once weekly (OW) with a dose of 0.25 mg. The dose should be increased after four weeks to 0.5 mg semaglutide. After 4 more weeks the dose can be increased to 1.0 mg semaglutide if the study doctor decides and further dose adjusted throughout the study.
Arms:
Semaglutide
Insulin aspart
Subjects should initiate treatment with 4U of Insulin aspart (s.c. injections) before each main meal, three times daily (TID). The dose will be adjusted individually based on pre-prandial and bedtime self measured plasma glucose (SMPG) from the preceding 3 days
Arms:
Insulin aspart
Insulin glargine U100
Run-in period: Subjects will receive s.c. injections of IGlar U100 OD in accordance with the approved local label of IGlar U100. The dose will be adjusted based on the mean of three pre-breakfast SMPG values (target SMPG: 4.0-6.9 mmol/L)
