Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary Objectives: To determine the effect of insulin glulisine on glycemic control (HbA1c, FBG & PPBG) from baseline to the end of the study. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the safety of insulin glulisine in basal/bolus regimen by monitoring the incidence of hypoglycemia and other adverse events.
Interventions
DRUGInsulin Glulisine
subcutaneous injection of insulin glulisine at meal, 1 to 3 injections a day based on the condition of the patient in addition to a basal SC insulin injection at bedtime
