Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
HbA1c Change From Baseline to Week 24
Assessment method [1] 0 0
HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 24 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and prior use of insulin.

HbA1c Change From Baseline to Week 6
Assessment method [1] 0 0
HbA1c is measured as a percentage. Thus, this change from baseline reflects the Week 6 HbA1c percent minus the baseline HbA1c percent. Means are treatment adjusted for baseline HbA1c and prior use of insulin.

FPG Change From Baseline to Week 24

FPG Change From Baseline to Week 6
Assessment method [5] 0 0

Secondary outcome [8] 0 0
Percentage of Patients With HbA1c <7.0% at Week 24
Assessment method [8] 0 0
The percentage of patients with an HbA1c value below 7% at week 24 was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c above 7%. Only patients with baseline HbA1c \>= 7%

Percentage of Patients Who Have a HbA1c Lowering by at Least 0.5% at Week 24
Assessment method [10] 0 0
The percentage of patients with an HbA1c reduction of =0.5% at week 24 from baseline was calculated for each treatment arm. If a patient did not have an HbA1c value at week 24 they were considered a failure, so HbA1c reduction less than 0.5%
