A Comparison Study of Basal Bolus Therapies Together With Lispro Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

A Prospective Randomized Trial to Compare Basal Bolus Therapies That Use Either Insulin Lispro Protamine Suspension or Insulin Glargine Together With Lispro Insulin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

This study is designed to look at if a basal bolus regimen of insulin lispro protamine suspension (ILPS) provides the same glycemic control as a basal bolus regimen of insulin glargine (when one basal bolus regimen is injected once daily together with insulin lispro injected 2-3 times daily).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
• Have been receiving metformin and at least one other oral antihyperglycemic medication (sulfonylurea or thiazolidinedione) with insulin for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1 (Screening)

• Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 and less than or equal to 45 kg/m^2
• Capable and willing to follow the protocol
• Give written consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Are taking any glucose-lowering agents (other than those listed in the inclusion criteria above)
• Have a history of severe hypoglycemia in the past 6 months
• Are pregnant or may become pregnant
• Women who are breastfeeding
• Have significant cardiac disease
• Have significant renal or liver disease
• Undergoing therapy for a malignancy
• Contraindications to the study medications
• Have an irregular sleep/wake cycle
