Researchers are evaluating how well the approved weekly injectable insulin icodec controls blood sugar levels compared to daily injectable basal insulins in adults with type 2 diabetes. This Phase 4 study focuses on people who need to start basal insulin treatment and have had type 2 diabetes for at least 180 days. The goal is to understand the effectiveness of once-weekly insulin icodec against standard daily basal insulins in real-world clinical practice over about 13 months. Participants will receive either insulin icodec once a week or one of the daily basal insulin analogues, such as insulin glargine, insulin detemir, or insulin degludec. Both treatments are given by subcutaneous injection. The choice between weekly or daily insulin is based on current treatment standards for type 2 diabetes. The study lasts approximately 52 weeks, during which participants maintain their assigned insulin regimen. During the study, researchers will monitor changes in participants' blood sugar control using the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test from the start until week 52. Participants will have their HbA1c measured within 90 days before starting the treatment. Safety and any reactions to the insulin will also be tracked. The study aims to assess how well the weekly insulin icodec works compared to daily basal insulins in managing blood sugar over a year.
