Intensive Insulin Glulisine Therapy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled With Basal Insulin and Oral Glucose-lowering Drugs

Summary

Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of an intensive insulin regimen with insulin glargine and insulin glulisine in terms of change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level from week 12 (visit 7) to week 24 (visit 10). Secondary Objectives: 1. Percentage of patients with HbA1c \< 7% at week 24. 2. Percentage of patients with HbA1c \< 7% and no symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycemia event at week 24. 3. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and 7-point Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) at week 0, week 12 and week 24. 4. Doses of insulin glargine and insulin glulisine: the daily dose (U) and the daily dose / kg (U/kg) will be calculated at week 24. 5. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, weight change will be measured at week 0, week 12 and week 24. 6.
