Outcomes
Primary Outcomes

- Change From Baseline in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) After 52 Weeks of Treatment(Baseline and 52 weeks)
- Change From Baseline in FPG(Baseline, 6, 12, 18, 24, 32 and 40 weeks)
- Change From Baseline in Mean Insulin Dose at 52 Weeks of Treatment(Baseline and 52 weeks)
- Change From Baseline in Weighted Mean Daily Glucose After 24 and 52 Weeks of Treatment(Baseline, 24 and 52 weeks)
