Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary objective:

To find out an optimal regimen of OHA (oral hypoglycaemic agents) in combination with insulin glargine (metformin, glimepiride or metformin+glimepiride) by measuring HbA1c level

Secondary objective:

To compare the incidence of hypoglycemia in each treatment group

* Serum creatinine: ≥ 1.5 mg/dl for males, ≥ 1.4 mg/dl for females
* Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy, as defined by the application of photocoagulation or surgery, in the 6 months before study entry or any other unstable (rapidly progressing) retinopathy that may require photocoagulation or surgery during the study (an optic fundus examination should have been performed in the 2 years prior to study entry)
* History of alcohol or other substance abuse
