• If on NIAHA, stable for at least 8 weeks prior to screening visit on theirNIAHA(s) (no change in dose or initiation of new NIAHAs).

• Patients on uncontrolled basal insulin (insulin glargine, normal protamine Hagedorn [NPH], detemir) +/ NIAHAs with an A1c >7.0% and ≤10% or uncontrolled on NIAHAs (insulin naïve patients) with an A1c >7.0% and ≤11%.

• Patients with less than 1 year history of diabetes.

• Patients unwilling to inject insulin or perform self-monitoring blood glucose.

• Current alcohol or drug abuse.

• Patients unlikely to comply with the protocol and complete the study eg, uncooperativeattitude, inability to return for follow-up visits.

• Patients with active cancer or any other diseases or conditions which in the opinionof the Investigator would make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
