This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare NN1250 (insulin degludec (IDeg)) with insulin glargine (IGlar) in subjects with type 2 diabetes never treated with insulin followed by the extension trial investigating the long-term safety and tolerability in terms of comparing NN1250 with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes. All oral anti-diabetic drug (OAD) treatment will be discontinued when trial participant enters the main trial (NN1250-3579) with the exception of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor treatment (only in countries where DPP-IV inhibitor treatment is approved for combination treatment together with insulin, otherwise DPP-IV inhibitor treatment is also discontinued). Subjects who consent to participate in the extension trial will continue the treatment (NN1250 or insulin glargine + oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs)) to which they were randomly allocated in the 52 week main trial. The main period is registered internally at Novo Nordisk as NN1250-3579 while the extension period is registered as NN1250-3643.

Main Trial (Primary Endpoint): Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 52 Weeks of Treatment
Change from baseline in HbA1c after 52 weeks of treatment
Time frame: Week 0, Week 52
Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.
Time frame: Week 0 to Week 104 + 7 days follow up
Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
Time frame: Week 0 to Week 104 + 7 days follow up
Extension Trial (Primary Endpoint): Rate of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)
Corresponds to rate of AEs per 100 patient years of exposure. Severity assessed by investigator. Mild: no or transient symptoms, no interference with subject's daily activities. Moderate: marked symptoms, moderate interference with subject's daily activities. Severe: considerable interference with subject's daily activities, unacceptable. Serious AE: AE that at any dose results in any of the following: death, a life-threatening experience, in-subject hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalisation, persistent/significant disability/incapacity/congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Time frame: Week 0 to Week 104 + 7 days of follow up
Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Rate of Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Rate of confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes per 100 patient years of exposure (PYE). Confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes consisted of severe hypoglycaemia as well as minor hypoglycaemic episodes. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L.
Time frame: Week 0 to Week 52 + 7 days follow up
Extension Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Change in Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) After 104 Weeks of Treatment
Change from baseline in HbA1c after 104 weeks of treatment
Time frame: Week 0, Week 104
Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG) at Week 52
Mean of 9-point SMPG at 52 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.
Time frame: Week 52
Extension Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Mean of 9-point Self Measured Plasma Glucose Profile (SMPG) at Week 104
Mean of 9-point SMPG at 104 weeks of treatment. Plasma glucose measured: before breakfast, 90 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 90 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 90 minutes after start of dinner, bedtime, at 4 am and before breakfast.
Time frame: Week 104
Main Trial (Secondary Endpoint): Rate of Nocturnal Confirmed Hypoglycaemic Episodes

Severe hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as requiring assistance to administer carbohydrate, glucagon, or other resuscitative actions. Minor hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose below 3.1 mmol/L. Nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes are defined as occurring between 00:01 and 05:59 a.m.
