Arms2

  • Experimental

    Insulin Glargine

    Insulin glargine administered once a day, in the morning or in the evening, at the most convenient time. The time of injection, once chosen was to remain unchanged during the whole duration of the study. The starting dose was 0.2 Unit per kilogram of body weight or 10 Units. Patients were empowered to adjust their insulin doses, under strict investigator's supervision. Insulin titration (by 2 or 4 Units) was done every 3 days according to the median value of Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) of the last 3 days. The goal was to achieve 70 \< FPG ≤ 100 mg/dL (3.9 \< FPG ≤ 5.5 mmol/L). Minor deviations from the titration scheme could be allowed, based on Investigator's judgment and patient's situation.

  • Active comparator

    Liraglutide

    Liraglutide administered once a day, in the morning or in the evening, at the most convenient time. The time of injection , once chosen was to remain unchanged during the whole duration of the study. The dose was 0.6 mg/day during the first week, 1.2 mg/day during the second week and 1.8 mg/day until week 24. The dose might be decreased to 1.2 mg for safety reasons (e.g. gastro-intestinal tolerability), based on Investigator's judgment.
