Lira + InsulinLiraglutide was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) once daily (OD) for 36 weeks combined with insulin therapy. The starting dose of the liraglutide was 0.3 mg (50 μL)/day; dose was escalated to 0.6 mg (100 μL)/day and 0.9 mg (150 μL)/day during first 2 weeks; dose was maintained at 0.9 mg (150 μL)/day for subsequent 34 weeks. All subjects continued their pre-trial insulin therapy (basal: once daily \[OD\] or twice daily \[BID\], premixed: OD or BID or basal-bolus regimen \[basal: OD or BID and bolus: three times a day\]). Insulin dose was not changed for any subject for the first 16 weeks and for the subsequent 20 weeks, insulin dose was individually adjusted.–6 / 12793 / 127
Placebo + InsulinLiraglutide placebo was administered subcutaneously (s.c., under the skin) OD for 36 weeks combined with insulin therapy. The starting dose of the placebo was 50 μL/day; dose was escalated to100 μL/day and 150 μL/day during first 2 weeks; dose was maintained at 150 μL/day for subsequent 34 weeks. All subjects continued their pre-trial insulin therapy (basal: once daily \[OD\] or twice daily \[BID\], premixed: OD or BID or basal-bolus regimen \[basal: OD or BID and bolus: three times a day\]).
