The 7 time points during the day were: Before breakfast, 120 minutes after start of breakfast, before lunch, 120 minutes after start of lunch, before dinner, 120 minutes after start of dinner, and at bedtime.
Body Weight After 24 Weeks of Treatment
Body Weight After 52 Weeks of Treatment
Hypoglycaemic Episodes
Hypoglycaemic episodes measured over 52 weeks of treatment. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with no plasma glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This trial is conducted in Japan. The trial aims for comparison of the effect on glycaemic control of liraglutide, compared to sulfonylurea (SU treatment), as assessed by HbA1c after 24 and 52 weeks in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Trial has a randomisation period of 24 weeks followed by a 28 week extension period, in total 52 weeks.
