Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in A1C Levels (Last Observation Carried Forward [LOCF])Baseline to Week 24

Change from baseline: post-pre. Adjusted for baseline (value and metformin use). ANCOVA model: difference between week t and baseline values=baseline values + treatment + metformin use

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Mean Total Daily Dose of Insulin (MTDDI) (LOCF)Baseline to Week 24

Based on information recorded in the participant's daily diary. The MTDDI was calculated at every visit using the values patients recorded since the last regularly scheduled visit (minimum of 80% of days with a value). At every visit, the MTDDI was compared with the participant's baseline MTDDI (measured during a 4-week lead-in period) to identify any changes in insulin use at that visit compared with insulin use at baseline.

Change From Baseline in Postprandial Glucose (PPG) Area Under the Curve (AUC) Response to an Meal Tolerance Test (MTT)Baseline to Week 24

An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal

Change From Baseline in 120-minute PPG Values During an MTTBaseline to Week 24

An MTT is a 2-part test that measures glucose and insulin levels after an overnight fast and before ingesting a meal consisting of a nutritional drink and power bar and again at prespecified times (30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes) after the start of ingestion of the meal.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose ValuesBaseline to Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Therapeutic Glycemic ResponseBaseline to Week 24

Therapeutic glycemic response is defined as an A1C\<7%. Significance was not interpreted with a p value.
