Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is:
- To compare blood sugar control on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment.
- To compare the rate of night time low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine during 52 weeks of treatment.
- To compare the number of participants on LY2605541 reaching blood sugar targets without low blood sugar episodes at night to those taking insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment.
- To compare the rate of low blood sugar episodes on LY2605541 with insulin glargine after 52 weeks of treatment

Arms & Interventions
LY2605541
LY2605541 titrated based on blood glucose readings, administered subcutaneously (SC), once daily in combination with at least 2 pre-study oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs) prescribed by the personal physician, for 52 or 78 weeks
Intervention: LY2605541 (Drug)
Glargine
Glargine titrated based on blood glucose readings, administered SC, once daily in combination with at least 2 pre-study OAMs prescribed by the personal physician, for 52 or 78 weeks
Intervention: Glargine (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline to 52 Week Endpoint in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Time Frame: Baseline, 52 weeks
HbA1C is a test that measures a person's average blood glucose level over the past 2 to 3 months. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using a mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline HbA1c measurement, stratification factors (country, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol \[LDL-C, \< 100 milligrams per deciliter {mg/dL} and ≥ 100 mg/dL\] and sulfonylurea \[SU\]/meglitinide use), visit, treatment, and visit-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects.
