  • - Ability and willingness to comply with all protocol procedures e.g. correct handling of trial product, complete trial related questionnaires, diaries, self-monitoring of plasma glucose, self titration of insulin and attend all scheduled visits

Exclusion Criteria

  • - Prior use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist or dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitors
