Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •HbA1c \> or = to 7.5% and \< or = to 10.0%
- •Body mass index (BMI) \< or = to 45 kg/m2
- •Non smoker for at least 6 months before Screening
- •Clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus for more than 12 months
- •Currently receiving as diabetes treatment only metformin or 2 or more OADs and on stable doses for at least 3 months before enrollment
- •Subjects receiving metformin must be on at least 1.5gm daily, or up to the maximum tolerated dose
- •Subjects treated with a sulfonylurea must be on at least 50% of the total maximum approved dose for a given agent
- •Subjects receiving a DPP-4 inhibitor must receive the maximum approved dose specific for that agent

- •No previous or current treatment with insulin, except during an acute illness, gestational diabetes, or at time of initial diagnosis of diabetes
Exclusion Criteria
- •History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), clinically proven asthma, or any other clinically important pulmonary disease (eg, pulmonary fibrosis)
- •Any clinically significant radiological findings on screening chest x-ray

- •History of pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis in the 12 months before Screening
- •History of recent blood transfusion (within previous 3 months) or diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies that may affect HbA1c measurements
