Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT00526513
• Lead Sponsor: Sanofi

Brief Summary

Primary Objectives:

To determine the effect of insulin glulisine on glycemic control (HbA1c, FBG \& PPBG) from baseline to the end of the study.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate the safety of insulin glulisine in basal/bolus regimen by monitoring the incidence of hypoglycemia and other adverse events.
