Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if twice-daily Lispro low mixture (75/25) will result in lower post prandial blood glucose readings versus once-daily glargine plus oral diabetic medications.
Detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that a twice daily insulin regimen consisting of insulin lispro (mix 75/25)plus OAMs will result in a lower 2 hour postprandial plasma glucose, averaged across the morning and evening meals, compared with once daily insulin glargine plus OAMs at bedtime following 12 weeks of treatment.
Interventions
Lispro mix 75/25 twice-daily, SC injection, given in conjunction with oral antidiabetic medications.
SC injection, once-daily, given in conjunction with oral antidiabetic medications.
