- Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 30 ]Change from baseline (week 0) in HbA1c was evaluated after 30 weeks of treatment. Missing data were imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
- Change in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 30 ]Change from baseline (week 0) in body weight was evaluated after 30 weeks of treatment. Missing data were imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
- Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 30 ]Change from baseline (week 0) in FPG was evaluated after 30 weeks of treatment. Missing data were imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
- Change in Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 30 ]Change from baseline (week 0) in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was evaluated after 30 weeks of treatment. Missing data were imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
- Subjects Who Achieve (Yes/no):HbA1c Below 7.0% (53 mmol/Mol) American Diabetes Association Target [ Time Frame: At 30 weeks of treatment ]Percentage of subjects who achieve (yes/no): HbA1c below 7.0% (53 mmol/mol) American Diabetes Association target after 30 weeks' treatment. Missing HbA1c data imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
- Subjects Who Achieve (Yes/no):HbA1c Below or Equal to 6.5% (48 mmol/Mol) American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists Target [ Time Frame: At 30 weeks of treatment ]Percentage of subjects who achieve (yes/no): HbA1c below 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) American Diabetes Association target after 30 weeks' treatment. Missing HbA1c data imputed from a mixed model for repeated measurements with treatment and country as fixed factors and baseline value as covariate, all nested within visit.
