Brief summary

This study will look into insulin sensitivity (how the body responds to insulin) and effects of meals on type 2 diabetics comparing insulin peglispro to insulin glargine. The study has two treatment periods, each of which will last about four weeks. One drug (insulin peglispro or insulin glargine) will be administered in each period. Participants will receive both drugs during the study. Participants may remain on stable dose metformin, as prescribed by their personal physician.

The 2-step clamp procedure allowed insulin sensitivity to be measured in participants and uses a lower dose of insulin of which the effect is largely on the liver and a high dose of insulin at which the effect has reached 100% on liver and effects are largely on glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. Measurements for average glucose infusion rate are collected for both steps (low and high) of the clamp procedure.

The questions are abbreviated in table from: How hungry do you feel right now? to Hunger and How much food do you think you could eat right now? to Food amount.
