Research Study to Compare a New Medicine "Fast-acting Insulin Aspart" to Another Medicine "Insulin Aspart" in Chinese People With Diabetes

Change from baseline (week 0) in 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour and 3-hour PPG increment (meal test) was evaluated at 16 weeks. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period. Meal test: The participants were given a carbohydrate-rich standardised liquid meal immediately after bolus (faster aspart or NovoRapid) infusion in the morning of the meal test. The participants were to consume the meal as quickly as possible (within 12 minutes) and blood samples were drawn after 30 minutes, 1, 2 and 3 hours from the start of the meal. PPG incremental value for each time point was derived as PPG value at that time point minus the preprandial glucose value.

Change from baseline (week 0) in mean of the 7-9-7 point SMPG profile was evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. 7-9-7 SMPG point profile was performed on the 3 consecutive days just before selected visit. 7-point profile (day 3 and day 1 before selected visit): before breakfast, 60 minutes after the start of breakfast, before lunch, 60 minutes after the start of lunch, before main evening meal, 60 minutes after the start of main evening meal, and at bedtime. 9-point profile (day 2 before selected visit) included all timepoints of 7-points profile with addition of SMPG measurement at 4 a.m. and before breakfast on the following day. The mean of the 7-9-7-point profile was defined as the area under the curve profile divided by the measurement time, and was calculated using the linear trapezoidal technique. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

Change from baseline (week 0) in 1-hour PPG (breakfast, lunch, main evening meal and mean over all meals) of the 7-9-7 point SMPG profile was evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. 7-9-7 SMPG point profile was performed on the 3 consecutive days just before selected visit. 7-point profile (day 3 and day 1 before selected visit): before breakfast, 60 minutes after the start of breakfast, before lunch, 60 minutes after the start of lunch, before main evening meal, 60 minutes after the start of main evening meal, and at bedtime. 9-point profile (day 2 before selected visit) included all timepoints of 7-points profile with addition of SMPG measurement at 4 a.m. and before breakfast on the following day. Results were derived from the three profiles: post-breakfast, post-lunch, post-main evening meal. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

Change from baseline (week 0) in PPG increment of the 7-9-7 point SMPG profile was evaluated after 16 weeks of randomisation. 7-9-7 SMPG point profile was performed on the 3 consecutive days just before selected visit. 7-point profile (day 3 and day 1 before selected visit): before breakfast, 60 minutes after the start of breakfast, before lunch, 60 minutes after the start of lunch, before main evening meal, 60 minutes after the start of main evening meal, and at bedtime. 9-point profile (day 2 before selected visit) included all timepoints of 7-points profile with addition of SMPG measurement at 4 a.m. and before breakfast on the following day. PPG increment for each meal was derived from the 7-point and 9-point profile as the difference between PPG values and the PG value before the meal in each separate profile. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.

Fluctuation in SMPG profile was the average absolute difference from the mean of the SMPG profile. Change from baseline is represented as ratio to baseline value. 7-9-7 SMPG point profile was performed on the 3 consecutive days just before selected visit. 7-point profile (day 3 and day 1 before selected visit): before breakfast, 60 minutes after the start of breakfast, before lunch, 60 minutes after the start of lunch, before main evening meal, 60 minutes after the start of main evening meal, and at bedtime. 9-point profile (day 2 before selected visit) included all timepoints of 7-points profile with addition of SMPG measurement at 4 a.m. and before breakfast on the following day. The results are based on the last in-trial value, which included the last available measurement in the in-trial period.
