- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria
- •Age > 30 years and ≤ 75 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus made > 6 months prior to study entry
- •Screening HbA1c > 7.0%
- •Currently treated on a stable dose of at least 2 oral antidiabetic agents for at least 3 months prior to study entry; including a sulfonylurea and/or metformin, and/or a thiazolidinedione
Exclusion Criteria
- •Smoking within last 6 months PFTs outside of range
- •Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- •Type 2 diabetes mellitus currently (last three months) treated with an insulin regimen (alone or with Oral Antidiabetic Agents)
- •Active liver disease; significantly-impaired hepatic function, as shown by, but not limited to, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) above 2x the upper limit of normal as measured at visit
- •However, patients with elevated ALT >1.5 upper limit of normal as a result of hepatic steatosis are permitted to enter the study.
Arms & Interventions
Exubera
Initiation dose of one mg per meal, and individually adjusted doses, per subject's blood glucose, over the six months study, in addition to oral agents.
Intervention: Inhaled Insulin (Exubera) (Drug)
Insulin glargine
Insulin glargine, label instruction initiation dose (10 units), and individually adjusted doses, per subject's blood glucose, over the six months study, in addition to oral agents.
Intervention: Insulin glargine (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
