Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new type of insulin (LY3209590) to see if it works better or is safer than an existing insulin (degludec) for adults with type 2 diabetes who are starting long-acting insulin for the first time. The new insulin helps manage blood sugar levels, similar to other insulins. Insulin degludec is a new-generation ultra-long-acting basal insulin developed by NovoNordisk.
