contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for up to 4 weeks after
the study in such manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized.
4. Diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes
5. Subjects on a stable sulphonylurea monotherapy dose that is at least half the
maximal recommended dose for a minimum of 8 weeks duration prior to the
enrolment visit.

N.B. Subjects on glimepiride dose higher than 4 mg/day are not eligible for the
study.

Inclusion criteria before lead-in period (Visit 2, laboratory values from Visit 1):
6. Inadequate glycaemic control, defined as A1C = 7.0 % and = 10%
7. FPG = 15 mmol/L (= 270 mg/dL)
8. C-peptide = 1.0 ng/mL (0.33 nmol/L; 333.3 pmol/L)

Inclusion criteria at randomization (Visit 5, laboratory values from Visit 4 or Visit 1 for patients who skipped the lead-in period):
9. A1C = 7% and = 10%
10. FPG = 15 mmol/L (= 270 mg/dL)
11. C-peptide = 1.0 ng/mL (0.33 nmol/L; 333.3 pmol/L
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes

history of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar non-ketonic coma

trial including but not limited to marked polyuria and polydipsia with greater than
10% weight loss during the three months prior to enrolment, or other signs and
symptoms
3. Use of glimepiride dose higher than 4 mg/day at enrolment and 8 weeks prior to the enrolment
4. AST > 3 x ULN
5. ALT > 3 x ULN

11. Severe uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic BP = 180 mm Hg and/or
diastolic BP = 110 mm Hg
N.B. If subject’s BP is higher than recommended target for BP control the
antihypertensive therapy should be optimised according to the local standards
of care.

confirmed by abnormal free T4 values. Subjects with abnormal free T4 values will
be excluded.

visit (myocardial infarction, unstable angina, transient ischaemic attack (TIA),
unstable or previously undiagnosed arrhythmia, unstable chronic heart failure,
cardiac surgery or revascularization (CABG/PTCA))

basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma or in-situ carcinoma of the cervix
15. History of blood lipid induced eruptive xanthomas or hypertriglyceridaemia
induced pancreatitis
16. History of unstable or rapidly progressing renal disease
17. Known condition of congenital renal glycosuria
18. History of chronic haemolytic anemia, with the exception of sickle cell trait (SA) or
thalassemia minor.
19. Subjects who, in the judgement of the Investigator, may be at risk for dehydration
20. Pregnant or breastfeeding subjects

25. History of bariatric surgery.
26. Administration of weight loss medication, including but not limited to sibutramine,
phentermine, orlistat, rimonabant, benzphetamine, diethylpropion,
