Brief summary

Study Primary Objectives: To compare glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (A1C), between insulin glargine and 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro as add-on therapies in subjects who failed oral combination therapy with sulfonylurea and metformin. Study Secondary Objectives : To compare the following measures between subjects receiving insulin glargine or 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension/25% insulin lispro: * Incidence of hypoglycemia * Change in weight * Change in serum lipid profile * Percentage of subjects achieving A1C levels ≤7%

Detailed description

The planned duration of enrollment is 6 months. The study consists of 2 weeks screening phase and a study period that was planned to be 24 weeks.
