Insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) maintains glycaemic control and improves clinical outcomes, regardless of pre-trial insulin dose, in people with type 2 diabetes that is uncontrolled on basal insulin.

Regardless of pre-trial insulin dose, IDegLira resulted in improved clinical outcomes, even in participants transferring from 40-50 units of basal insulin, despite a transient (< 4 weeks), clinically non-relevant, elevation in pre-breakfast SMBG. (Clinical Trial Registry Number NCT01952145 and NCT02420262).
