  Purpose

Primary Objective:

To demonstrate the superiority of a strategy with insulin glargine in comparison with a strategy including the premixed insulin in term of percentage of patients reaching HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) below 7% at the end of treatment and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L)) over a 24-week treatment period, in Type 2 diabetes patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents.

Secondary Objectives:

To assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with premixed insulin on :

  • Evolution of HbA1c level during the treatment period Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 7 % and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a Plasma Glucose (PG) below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L)
  • Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) >Percentage of patients who reach the target of HbA1c < 6.5% and who do not experience documented symptomatic hypoglycemia confirmed by a PG below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) >Evolution of Fasting Plasma Glucose Evolution of 7-point plasma glucose profiles
  • Evolution of weight
  • Hypoglycemia occurrence
  • Dose of insulins
  • Evolution of liver function
  • Overall safety

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Insulin glargine

Administered once a day in the evening, at the same time every day. The starting daily dose is 0.2 U/Kg of body weight or 12 U, at the investigator's decision.

Insulin glulisine is administered for patients of the insulin glargine group requiring insulin glulisine at week 12 (visit 11).

Insulin glulisine is administered prior (10-15 min) to the main meal of the day, which is the meal with highest Post-Prandial Plasma Glucose (PPPG) on the 3 profiles performed before week 12.

Starting dose is of 4 units per day.

Drug: INSULIN GLARGINE
Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: sub-cutaneous injection Dose regimen: 100 Units/mL solution for injection in a pre-filled SoloStar pen (3 ml)
Drug: INSULIN GLULISINE
Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: sub-cutaneous Dose regimen: 100 Units/mL solution for injection in a pre-filled SoloStar pen (3 mL)
Experimental: Premixed insulin
administered once a day (in the evening at dinner) or twice a day (in the morning before breakfast and in the evening at dinner). Starting daily dose will be 6 U at breakfast and 6 U at dinner, if administered twice a day or 12 U at dinner if administered once a day
Drug: PREMIXED INSULIN

Pharmaceutical form: solution for injection Route of administration: sub-cutaneous Dose regimen: - 30% soluble insulin aspart and 70 % protamine-crystallised insulin aspart in pre-filled Flexpen for all the countries except Mexico

  • 25 % insulin lispro solution and 75% insulin lispro protamine in cartridges for Humapen Luxura for Mexico only
