- Change From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 Weeks ]
- Actual and Change From Baseline to 12 Week and 24 Week Endpoint in HbAlc Value [ Time Frame: Baseline, 12 Weeks, 24 Weeks ]
- Percentage of Patients With HbAlc Less Than 7.0 Percent and HbAlc Less Than or Equal to 6.5 Percent at Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Percentage of patients achieving Hemaglobin A1c (HbA1c) targets of less than 7% and less than or equal to 6.5% at endpoint.
- Glycemic Variability at Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Glycemic variability was measured by standard deviation (SD) value of fasting blood glucose as measured by intra-patient glycemic variability (determined by the 7-point self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) profiles at endpoint) based on the actual morning pre-meal blood glucose.
- 7-Point Self-Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Profile at Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Actual measurements and daily mean blood glucose levels at endpoint.
- Number of Participants With Self-Reported Hypoglycemic Episodes (Including All, Nocturnal, and Severe Hypoglycemia) Overall [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 weeks ]Overall: any time after randomization. Hypoglycemic: any time patient experienced sign/symptom associated with hypoglycemia, or had old Roche blood glucose level <7 mg/dL. Nocturnal: any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking. Severe Hypoglycemia: event with symptoms consistent with neuroglycopenia in which patient requires assistance, and is associated with either a Roche blood glucose value <2.8 millimoles/liter or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, glucagon, or intravenous glucose.
- 1-Year Adjusted Rates of Self-Reported Hypoglycemic Episodes (Including All, Nocturnal, and Severe) Overall [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 weeks ]Overall: any time after randomization. Hypoglycemic: any time patient experienced sign/symptom associated with hypoglycemia, or had old Roche blood glucose level <7 mg/dL. Nocturnal: any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking. Severe: event with symptoms consistent with neuroglycopenia in which patient requires assistance, and is associated with: a Roche blood glucose value <2.8 mmol/L or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, glucagon, or IV glucose. 1-year adjusted rate=(total number of episodes between 2 time intervals/number of days between intervals) X 365.25 days.
- 30-Day Adjusted Rates of Self-Reported Hypoglycemic Episodes (Including All, Nocturnal, and Severe) Overall [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 Weeks ]Overall: any time after randomization. Hypoglycemic: any time patient experienced sign/symptom associated with hypoglycemia, or had old Roche blood glucose level <7 mg/dL. Nocturnal: any hypoglycemic event that occurred between bedtime and waking. Severe: event with symptoms consistent with neuroglycopenia in which patient requires assistance, and is associated with: a Roche blood glucose value <2.8 mmol/L or prompt recovery after oral carbohydrate, glucagon, or IV glucose. 30-day adjusted rate=(total number of episodes between 2 time intervals/number of days between intervals) X 30 days.
- Change in Absolute Body Weight (kg) From Baseline to 24 Week Endpoint [ Time Frame: Baseline, 24 weeks ]
- Total Daily Insulin Dose (Units) at Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Insulin dose at endpoint was analyzed by 24-hour total daily insulin (units).
- Total Daily Insulin Dose Per Body Weight (Units/Kilograms) at Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ]Insulin dose at endpoint was analyzed by 24-hour total daily insulin per body weight (units/kilograms).
