Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects who had type 2 diabetes treated with diet and exercise only for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization, or who were previously or currently treated with an oral agent and had not responded to diet, exercise, and oral therapy for at least 3 months (documented by an HbA1c >7.5%). Subjects who completed glimepiride pharmacokinetic Study HOE 490/4045 at preselected sites within 3 weeks prior to the screening period were also permitted to enroll. Subjects were required to be negative for islet cell antigen (ICA) and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) autoantibodies and to have a C-peptide level at 90 minutes of &#8805; 1.5 ng/mL. The HbA1c was required to be >7.1% at screening and <12.0% on the day of randomization.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: A history of an acute metabolic complication such as diabetic ketoacidosis within 3 months before screening On insulin therapy, or had received insulin for >6 weeks, 3 months prior to randomization On weight-reduction medication Known hypersensitivity to biguanides, sulfonamides, or insulin Pregnant or lactating females Clinically significant renal (serum creatinine level >1.0 mg/dL) or hepatic disease (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] >2.5 times the upper limits of normal [ULN]) GI disorders that may interfere with the absorption of the study drugs Chronic use of medications known to affect glucose levels such as intermittent use of systemic corticosteroids or large dose of inhaled steroids Clinically significant laboratory abnormality on screening laboratory tests or any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator would affect the outcome of the study History of drug or alcohol abuse Treatment with any investigational product in the last 3 months before study entry History of noncompliance with regard to follow-up medical care Any disease or condition that in the opinion of the investigator and/or sponsor may interfere with completion of the study
