Inclusion criteria

Have been taking a basal insulin Glargine, at dose of ≥ 20 units/day, for at least 3 months prior to study start.
Have been taking basal insulin Glargine at dose of ≥ 20 units/day, in combination with 1 of the following oral antidiabetic medication (OAM) regimens, for at least 3 months prior to study start:
Metformin or immediate-release metformin or extended-release metformin alone at a maximum tolerated and stable dose with no less than 500 mg/day for at least 6 weeks prior to study start; or
Metformin or immediate-release metformin or extended-release metformin at a maximum tolerated and stable dose with no less than 500 mg/day for at least 6 weeks prior to study start and sulfonylurea at a stable dose for 6 weeks prior to study start.
Have an HbA1C > 7.0% and ≤ 10.0%.
Have a body mass index (BMI) between ≥ 25 and ≤ 45 kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria

Are currently taking OAM that is not described above and not allowed with concurrent use of insulin per local product label.
Have taken more than 1 week within 1 month prior to the study start any glucose-lowering medications not included above either alone or in combination formulations, or have used a drug for weight loss (for example, prescription drugs such as orlistat, sibutramine, phenylpropanolamine, rimonabant or similar over-the-counter medications).
Have taken any insulin other than Glargine within the 3 months prior to study start for more than 1 week.
Are receiving chronic (lasting longer than 2 weeks) systemic glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical, intraocular, and inhaled preparations) within 4 weeks prior to the study start.
Are currently enrolled in, or discontinued within the last 30 days from, a clinical trial involving an off-label use of an investigational drug or device (other than the study drug/device used in this study), or concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study.
Have previously completed or been withdrawn from this study after enrollment.
