Trial profile. Patients were randomized with stratification according to sex and insulin use. One patient in liraglutide group withdrew consent before he ever received study drug. This patient was therefore not included in intention-to-treat analysis. In another patient assigned to liraglutide, withdrawal had taken place upon repeated hypoglycaemic events (on further examination this patient had positive anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody titer and undetectable c-peptide levels consistent with type 1 diabetes mellitus). In the placebo group, one patient was lost to follow-up because he was in detention. All other patients reached end of study. ITT intention-to-treat
