Arms	Assigned Interventions
Amaryl group: Active Comparator	Drug: glimepiride + insulin glargine (Amaryl + Lantus) Amaryl® 4 mg at breakfast + Lantus® at dinner The initial dose of Lantus® is 0.2IU/kg at baseline. Lantus® titration will be made by patients every 3 days based on the mean value of previous 3 fasting SMBG level before breakfast
Amaryl M group: Experimental	Drug: glimepiride/metformin fixed combination+insulin glargine (AmarylM + Lantus) Amaryl® M 1/500 mg at breakfast + Amaryl® M 1/500 mg at dinner + Lantus® at dinner The initial dose of Lantus® is 0.2IU/kg at baseline. Lantus® titration will be made by patients every 3 days based on the mean value of previous 3 fasting SMBG level before breakfast

Detailed Description:

There are several kinds of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) that are used in the treatment of patients with type 2 DM. Among them, sulfonylurea and metformin are well-established first-line OADs. However, as the beta cell dysfunction progresses over time, patients fail to achieve good glycemic control with OADs alone and need further treatment intensification, usually involving the introduction of insulin either alone or in combination with OADs. Now, an OAD combined with bedtime insulin is one of the recommended treatment options for patients with type 2 DM and OAD failure. But, it still remains unclear which OADs are the most effective in combination with insulin for the treatment of type 2 DM.

so, this study we will be able to verify which OADs are the most effective in combination with insulin for the treatment of type 2 DM.
