Group Intervention Description 1 placebo - 2 exenatide -
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) baseline and 30 weeks Change in HbA1c from baseline following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., HbA1c at week 30 minus HbA1c at baseline). Unit of measure is percent of hemoglobin that is glycosylated.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients Achieving HbA1c <=7% baseline and 30 weeks Percentage of patients in each arm who had HbA1c \>7% at baseline and had HbA1c \<=7% at week 30 (percentage = \[number of subjects with HbA1c \<=7% at week 30 divided by number of subjects with HbA1c \>7% at baseline\] \* 100%).
Percentage of Patients Achieving HbA1c <=6.5% baseline and 30 weeks Percentage of patients in each arm who had HbA1c \>6.5% at baseline and had HbA1c \<=6.5% at week 30 (percentage = \[number of subjects with HbA1c \<=6.5% at week 30 divided by number of subjects with HbA1c \>6.5% at baseline\] \* 100%).
Change in Fasting Serum Glucose baseline and 30 weeks Change in fasting serum glucose following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., fasting serum glucose at week 30 minus fasting serum glucose at baseline)
Change in 7-point Self-monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Profile baseline and 30 weeks Change in 7-point (pre-breakfast, 2 hour post-breakfast, pre-lunch, 2 hour post-lunch, pre-dinner, 2 hour post-dinner, 0300 hours) SMBG profile from baseline to week 30 (change = blood glucose value at week 30 minus blood glucose value at baseline)
Change in Total Cholesterol baseline and 30 weeks Change in total cholesterol following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., total cholesterol at week 30 minus total cholesterol at baseline)
Change in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol baseline and 30 weeks Change in LDL cholesterol following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., LDL cholesterol at week 30 minus LDL cholesterol at baseline)
Change in High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol baseline and 30 weeks Change in HDL cholesterol following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., HDL cholesterol at week 30 minus HDL cholesterol at baseline)
Change in Triglycerides baseline and 30 weeks Change in triglycerides following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., triglycerides at week 30 minus triglycerides at baseline)
Change in Body Weight baseline and 30 weeks Change in body weight following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., body weight at week 30 minus body weight at baseline)
Change in Waist Circumference baseline and 30 weeks Change in waist circumference following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., waist circumference at week 30 minus waist circumference at baseline)
Change in Daily Insulin Dose baseline and 30 weeks Change in daily insulin dose following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., daily insulin dose at week 30 minus daily insulin dose at baseline)
Change in Daily Insulin Dose (on a Per Body Weight Basis) baseline and 30 weeks Change in daily insulin dose per kilogram (kg) following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., daily insulin dose per kg at week 30 minus daily insulin dose per kg at baseline)
Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) baseline and 30 weeks Change in SBP following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., SBP at week 30 minus SBP at baseline)
Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) baseline and 30 weeks Change in DBP following 30 weeks of therapy (i.e., DBP at week 30 minus DBP at baseline)
Minor Hypoglycemia Rate Per Year baseline and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 Number of minor hypoglycemia events experienced per subject per year. Minor hypoglycemia was defined as any time a subject felt he or she was experiencing a sign or symptom associated with hypoglycemia that was either self-treated by the subject or resolved on its own and had a concurrent finger stick blood glucose \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL).
Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Minor Hypoglycemia baseline and weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30 Percentage of subjects in each arm experiencing at least one episode of minor hypoglycemia at any point during the study. Minor hypoglycemia was defined as any time a subject felt he or she was experiencing a sign or symptom associated with hypoglycemia that was either self-treated by the subject or resolved on its own and had a concurrent finger stick blood glucose \<3.0 mmol/L (54 mg/dL).
