The primary end point was the prevalence of confirmed clinical neuropathy (CCN).
Forty-six T2D subjects (age 54±10years, diabetes duration 8±5years, HbA1c 8.2±1.3%) with mild to moderate DPN at baseline were randomized to receive either twice daily exenatide (n=22) or daily insulin glargine (n=24).
The subjects, with similar HbA1c levels, were followed for 18months.
