- Change from Baseline in HbA1c [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]Change from Baseline in HbA1c of insulin efsitora alfa compared to insulin glargine on glycemic control in adult participants with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily injections.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving HbA1c <7% without Nocturnal Hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]Percentage of participants achieving HbA1c <7% without nocturnal hypoglycemia milligram/deciliter (mg/dL) [3.0 millimole/Liter (mmol/L) or severe] during treatment phase up to week 26.
- Nocturnal Hypoglycemia Event Rate [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]The event rate of participant-reported clinically significant nocturnal hypoglycemia <54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L) or severe) measured during treatment phase up to week 26.
- Change from Baseline in Fasting Glucose [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]Change from baseline in fasting glucose measured by small monitoring blood glucose (SMBG)
- Time in Glucose Range [ Time Frame: Week 22 to Week 26 ]Time in glucose range between 70 and 180 mg/dL (3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L), inclusive measured during the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) session
- Time in Hypoglycemia Range [ Time Frame: Week 22 to Week 26 ]Time in hypoglycemia range with glucose <54 mg/dL (3.0 mmol/L), measured by CGM
- Time in Hyperglycemia Range [ Time Frame: Week 22 to Week 26 ]Time in hyperglycemia range with glucose >180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L), measured by CGM
- Glucose Variability [ Time Frame: Week 22 to Week 26 ]Glucose variability measured during the CGM session
- Basal Insulin Dose [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
- Bolus Insulin Dose [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
- Total Insulin Dose [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
- Basal Insulin Dose to Total Insulin Dose Ratio [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]
- Hypoglycemia Event Rate [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ]Incidence and rate of composite of level 2 and 3 hypoglycemia event
- Change from Baseline in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 26 ]
- Treatment Experience for Diabetes Injection Device at Week 26 - Experience Questionnaire (DID-EQ) [ Time Frame: Week 26 ]The DID-EQ is a self-administered 10-item questionnaire designed to assess participants' perceptions of diabetes injection delivery systems for T2D. Each item is rated on a four-point Likert scale. Scores are transformed and range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more positive perceptions of injection device characteristics.
