Summary

This is a phase 3 trial designed to compare the effects of twice daily exenatide plus oral antidiabetic agents (OADs) and once-daily insulin glargine plus OADs with respect to glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c, with minimum weight gain, in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on OADs.
