Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of insulin lispro protamine suspension (ILPS) as compared to insulin glargine as basal insulin therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Have type 2 diabetes mellitus for at least 1 year.
  • Are greater than or equal to 18 years old.
  • Have been receiving oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs), without insulin, for at least 3 months immediately prior to the study and have been on stable doses of at least 2 of the following OAMs for the 6 weeks prior to Visit 1: Metformin- Sulfonylureas-Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors-Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
  • Have a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) greater than or equal to 7.5% and less than or equal to 10.0%, as measured by a central laboratory before Visit 2.
  • Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 and less than or equal to 45 kg/meter squared.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Have used insulin therapy (outside of pregnancy) any time in the past 2 years, except for short-term treatment of acute conditions, and up to a maximum of 4 weeks.
  • Have taken any glucose-lowering medications not included in Inclusion Criterion #3; (for example, acarbose, miglitol, pramlintide, exenatide, repaglinide, or nateglinide) in the past 3 months before Visit 1.
  • Have had more than 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia, within 6 months prior to entry into the study, or is currently diagnosed as having hypoglycemia unawareness.
  • Have had 2 or more emergency room visits or hospitalizations due to poor glucose control in the past 6 months.
  • Are pregnant or intend to become pregnant during the course of the study or are sexually active women of childbearing potential not actively practicing birth control by a method determined by the investigator to be medically acceptable.
