Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary objective: * To determine the optimal treatment algorithm for the clinical use of insulin glargine based on the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia. Secondary objectives: * To determine for each treatment algorithm the incidence of asymptomatic, symptomatic and nocturnal hypoglycaemia. * To determine the difference in glycaemic control as measured by HbA1c and fasting blood glucose between the treatment algorithms. * To determine the difference in glycaemic control as measured by HbA1c and fasting blood glucose between baseline and end of treatment. * To obtain safety data on the use of insulin glargine in each treatment algorithm. * To measure change in subject weight and insulin dose between baseline and end of treatment. * To determine subject quality of life and treatment satisfaction (sub-study)
