Primary Objective:
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control at six months between the basal plus one and the biphasic insulin regimen.
Secondary Objective:
To demonstrate favorable outcome for basal plus over biphasic insulin when it comes to comparing when both hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) target goal achievement and non-hypoglycemic event is taken into account.

Experimental: group 1: Basal plus
Insulin glargine with dosage adjustment determined according to the mean value of the last three days Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) Insulin glulisine, at initial dosing of 4IU, then weekly adjusted according to the mean value of the last three days PostPrandial Blood Glucose (PPBG)

Drug: INSULIN GLARGINE
Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: subcutaneous Dose regimen: once daily
Other Name: Lantus Drug: INSULIN GLULISINE Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: subcutaneous Dose regimen: once daily
Other Name: Apidra |
Active Comparator: group 2: Biphasic insulin
Insulin aspart/insulin aspart protamine 30/70 (novomix 30) given twice daily and titrated weekly (before breakfast and dinner) according to the lowest of three previous days' pre-meal levels (both breakfast and dinner). Target is 70 mg/dL < Pre-meal blood glucose (dinner and breakfast).
