Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in Mean Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: visit 5(week 0) and visit 14(week 26) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) over 26 weeks, Last Observation Carried Forward.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change From Baseline in Insulin Resistance Based on Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) [ Time Frame: [visit 5(week 0) and visit 14(week 26)] ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from Baseline in Insulin Resistance based on homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) at week 26, Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF). The HOMA-IR is the the product of the blood Glucose and Insulin levels, divided by a constant. HOMA-IR is expressed as the following: HOMA-IR = fasting serum insulin (μU/ml) × fasting plasma glucose (mmol/l) / 22.5

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:

  • Use of any beta blocker within one month prior to screening
  • Use of clonidine within 3 months prior to screening
  • Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism as evidenced by abnormal lab markers
  • Any disorder requiring the intermittent or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids
  • Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism as determined by lab markers done at screening
