Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded from week 0 to week 31 (26 weeks treatment period + 5 weeks follow-up period). Adverse events (AEs) with onset during the on-treatment observation period were considered treatment-emergent. On-treatment observation period was defined as the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.

Time frame · Weeks 0-31
Treatment emergent severe or BG-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemic episodes were recorded from week 0 to week 31 (26 weeks treatment period + 5 weeks follow-up period). Hypoglycaemic episodes with onset during the first dose of trial product until last dose of trial product were considered treatment -emergent. Severe or BG-confirmed symptomatic hypoglycaemia was defined as an episode, that is severe according to the ADA classification or BG-confirmed by a plasma glucose value \<3.1 mmol/L with symptoms consistent with hypoglycaemia. Results are based on the data from the on-treatment observation period which was the time period when a participant was on treatment with trial product, including any period after initiation of rescue medication.
