Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that in patients with type 2 diabetes, the addition of exenatide will result in lower time-averaged serum glucose during a 24-hour period, compared with placebo.
Interventions
subcutaneous injection, 5mcg twice a day for one week; then 10 mcg twice a day for one week
subcutaneous injection, equivalent volume to 5 mcg exenatide twice a day for one week; then equivalent volume to 10 mcg exenatide twice a day for one week

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To compare the effects of exenatide and placebo on serum glucose | Each half-hour to 2 hours for 24 hours | To compare the effects of exenatide and placebo on serum glucose measured as averaged daytime glucose, averaged nighttime glucose, time-averaged postprandial glucose 2 hours after each meal, time-averaged postprandial glucose 4 hours after each meal, 2-hour postprandial glucose averaged across morning and evening meals, and averaged across the three meals, and fluctuation evaluations |
