HbA1c lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects Achieving Glycemic Control (HbA1c < 6.5%) at Week 26Week 26

Percentage of subjects with glycosylated hemoglobin A1c lab value less than 6.5%.

Percentage of Subjects Achieving Glycemic Control (HbA1c < 7.0%) at Week 26Week 26

Percentage of subjects with glycosylated hemoglobin A1c lab value less than 7.0%.

Percentage of Subjects Achieving Glycemic Control (HbA1c < 8.0%) at Week 26Week 26

Number of subjects with glycosylated hemoglobin A1c lab value less than 8.0%.

Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Fasting plasma glucose lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Fasting and Postprandial Blood Glucose as Determined by Standardized Meal Tolerance Tests at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Postprandial blood glucose lab value (Time 0 min \[fasting\], Time 30 min, Time 60 min, Time 90 min, Time 120 min, Time 180 min): Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Postprandial Blood Glucose as Measured by 8-Point Profiles at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Post-prandial=after a meal. 8-point scale: (1 = before breakfast, 2 = 2 hours post breakfast, 3 = before lunch, 4 = 2 hours post lunch, 5 = before dinner, 6 = 2 hours post dinner, 7 = at bedtime, 8 = overnight \[between 2 and 4 am\]). Postprandial blood glucose lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Lipids at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Lipid (total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol \[HDL-c\], low density lipoprotein cholesterol \[LDL-c\], triglycerides) lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Cardiovascular (CV) Biomarkers High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (Hs-CRP), Leptin, and Spot Urine Microalbumin at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

CV biomarker (hs-CRP, Leptin, and Spot Urine Microalbumin) lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in CV Biomarkers Adiponectin and Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

CV biomarker (adiponectin and ApoB) lab value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in 24-Hour Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) Glucose Values at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

24-Hour CGMS glucose lab value was obtained using the Medtronic MiniMed CGMS. Not all subjects were offered the opportunity to participate in this assessment. Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Mean Standard Deviation (SD) of 24-Hour Glucose Values Measured by CGMS at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

SD of 24-Hour CGMS glucose lab value obtained using the Medtronic MiniMed CGMS. Not all subjects were offered the opportunity to participate in this assessment. Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Number of Subjects With Hypoglycemic EventsMonths 1 to 7

A hypoglycemic event was identified by characteristic symptoms or blood glucose levels. An event was severe if the subject was unable to treat him/herself; had at least 1 neurological symptom; or blood glucose of \< = 49 mg/dL. Events not meeting all 3 criteria were considered mild-moderate. Overall=mild, moderate, and severe.

Number of Total Hypoglycemic EventsMonths 1 to 7

A hypoglycemic event was identified by characteristic symptoms or blood glucose levels. Severe=the subject was unable to treat him/herself; had at least 1 neurological symptom; or blood glucose of \< = 49 mg/dL. Events not meeting all 3 criteria were considered mild-moderate. Overall=mild, moderate, and severe. Total=events during the study.

Number of Total Subject Months of TreatmentMonths 1 to 7

Number of total subject months of treatment. Subject months = number of days from start of treatment to the last day of active treatment + 1 day lag, including off-drug time)/30.44. Severe=the subject was unable to treat him/herself; had at least 1 neurological symptom; or blood glucose of \< = 49 mg/dL. Events not meeting all 3 criteria were considered mild-moderate. Overall=mild, moderate, and severe.

Crude Hypoglycemic Event RateMonths 1 to 7

crude event rate=(events)/(subject-months). Severe=the subject was unable to treat him/herself; had at least 1 neurological symptom; or blood glucose of \< = 49 mg/dL. Events not meeting all 3 criteria were considered mild-moderate. Overall=mild, moderate, and severe.

Number of Nocturnal Hypoglycemic EventsMonths 1 to 7

A hypoglycemic event was identified by characteristic symptoms or blood glucose levels. Severe=the subject was unable to treat him/herself; had at least 1 neurological symptom; or blood glucose of \< = 49 mg/dL. Events not meeting all 3 criteria were considered mild-moderate. Nocturnal hypoglycemia=event occuring from midnight to 5:59 am.

Change From Baseline in Body Weight at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

Body weight value: Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Body Mass Index (BMI) at Week 26Baseline, Week 26

BMI value (kg/m2): Change = value at Week 26 minus value at Baseline.

Change From Baseline in Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-Status, Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-Change, Diabetes-39, Mental Health Inventory-17, and SF-36 Vitality Domain QuestionnaireBaseline, Week 26

Due to cancellation of the EXUBERA program, the collected Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) data, including the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-Status, Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-Change, Diabetes-39, Mental Health Inventory-17, and SF-36 vitality domain questionnaire were not summarized, and no statistical analyses were performed.
