Summary

The main purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Human Regular U-500 Insulin three times a day versus twice a day.

Eligibility Criteria

Major Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have type 2 diabetes mellitus (World Health Organization [WHO] Classification of Diabetes)
  • Have a body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2)
  • Have Glycated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥7.5% and ≤12.0%, as measured by the central laboratory at entry

  • Have a history of stable body weight for at least 3 months prior to study entry
  • Concomitant medications may include metformin (MET), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors approved for use with insulin at time of study entry (for example, sitagliptin, saxagliptin, and linagliptin), pioglitazone, and/or sulfonylureas (SUs)/glinides (repaglinide or nateglinide). Participant's oral antihyperglycemic drug (OAD) dose(s) must have been stable for ≥3 months

Major Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have type 1 diabetes mellitus or other types of diabetes mellitus apart from type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Have obvious clinical signs or symptoms of liver disease, acute or chronic hepatitis, or alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase levels ≥3 times the upper limit of the reference range
  • Have chronic kidney disease stage 4 and higher or history of renal transplantation
  • Have history of more than 1 episode of severe hypoglycemia within the 6 months prior to study entry

  • Have an irregular sleep/wake cycle
  • Have used rosiglitazone, once- or twice-daily glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agents, pramlintide, or other injectable or oral antihyperglycemic therapy not listed in the inclusion criteria in the 3 months prior to study entry. Participants may not have used once-weekly GLP-1 receptor agents in the 4 months prior to study entry
  • Have used any weight loss drugs in the 3 months prior to study entry
  • Have a history of bariatric surgery
  • Have a history of malignancy other than basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer
  • Have New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV per NYHA Cardiac Disease Functional Classification
