Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Absolute change from baseline in HbA1c [ Time Frame: baseline( visit 2); 6 weeks (visit 3); 12 weeks( visit 4); 24 weeks ( visit 6) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Evaluation after 24 weeks oral administration of saxagliptin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise or with metformin in addition to diet and exercise.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% [ Time Frame: baseline( visit 2); 6 weeks (visit 3); 12 weeks( visit 4); 24 weeks ( visit 6) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) [ Time Frame: baseline( visit 2); 6 weeks (visit 3); 12 weeks( visit 4); 18 weeks (visit 5); 24 weeks ( visit 6) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2h-PPG) [ Time Frame: baseline( visit 2); 24 weeks ( visit 6) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in HbA1c in sub population by age (Age<65y; Age≥65y） [ Time Frame: baseline( visit 2); 6 weeks (visit 3); 12 weeks( visit 4); 18 weeks (visit 5); 24 weeks ( visit 6) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
