Subpopulation Indication Comparator
a) Adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not adequately controlled by treatment with at least two blood glucose-lowering medicines (other than insulin) - Human insulin + metformin or – human insulin + empagliflozin or – human insulin + liraglutide or – Human insulin if the specific combination partners are intolerable or contraindicated according to the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) or are not sufficiently effective due to advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus Empagliflozin or liraglutide only for patients with manifest cardiovascular disease who are receiving other medication for the treatment of cardiovascular risk factors, in particular antihypertensives, anticoagulants and/or lipid-lowering agents
b) Adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not adequately controlled by treatment with insulin (with or without another blood glucose-lowering drug) - The optimisation of the human insulin regime (+ metformin or empagliflozin or liraglutide, if applicable). Empagliflozin or liraglutide only for patients with manifest cardiovascular disease who are receiving other medication to treat cardiovascular risk factors, especially antihypertensives, anticoagulants and/or lipid-lowering agents
