Summary
Brief summary
The investigators are doing this study to see the effect of insulin degludec in pregnant
women with type 1 diabetes, and if it is safe to use. In this study the medicine insulin
degludec is compared to another medicine called insulin detemir. Participants will either get
insulin degludec or insulin detemir and take it together with a medicine called insulin
aspart - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants will get
pre-filled insulin pens. Participants will need to take blood sugar measurements several
times a day. The study will last between 10 and 25 months depending on whether participants
are already pregnant when they join the study. The number of visits and the tests ( for
example blood and urine samples and ultrasound scans) the participants will have also depends
on whether they are pregnant at study start.
