Sponsor:	Novo Nordisk
Information provided by:	Novo Nordisk
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00331851

Purpose

This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with liraglutide added to existing glimepiride and metformin combination therapy and to compare it with the effects of insulin glargine added to combination therapy of glimepiride and metformin.
