Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: - Protection of B cells (HbA1c, C-Peptide, Proinsulin) - Glycemic variability (standard deviation, MAGE=mean amplitude of glucose excursions) - Glycemic Load - Free fatty acids - Antiinflammatory effect of insuline (hsCRP, PAI-1, Leucocytes) - Effect on endothelial function (Laser-Doppler O2C) - Renal effects (Microalbuminurie) - Hypoglycemic risk (time < 3mmol glucose) ;Primary end point(s): AUC within 2 h (postprandial) [mmol/L/time] before and after treatment (after 36 weeks) with Insuline glargin as well as with Metformin.;Main Objective: To compare the treatment of an early Type II Diabetes mellitus with Insuline instead of the conventional treatment with Metformin. Evaluation of efficacy and safety of an early Diabetes mellitus Type II therapy with Insuline glargine as first line drug compared to treatment with Metformin described by the Area Under Curve (AUC) [mmol/L/time] measured with continous glucose monitoring.
