Brief Summary

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

Primary Objective:

To investigate the impact of insulin glargine versus Neutral Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin on a composite diabetes related quality of life score (DRQoL).

Secondary Objective:

A comparison of combination therapy with insulin glargine versus Neutral Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin from baseline to endpoint in terms of:

* Glycaemic parameters: 7 blood glucose profiles
* Incidence of confirmed symptomatic hypoglycemia as well as confirmed severe hypoglycemia
* Change in lipid status

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Insulin glargine: Lantus® (100 U/ml) in TactiPen® re-usable pen

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Insulin Glargine (HOE901)/NPH Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Arm 1: Subcutaneous injection of Insulin Glargine with the TactiPen® injector pen once daily at any time, but each day at the same time

Arm 2: Subcutaneous injection of Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin with the TactiPen® injector pen once or twice daily at the discretion of the treating physician

The starting dose is 10 I.U. (NPH basal insulin) resp. 10 U (insulin glargine) per day.

The dose adjustments will be based on the results of self-monitoring.

2

Neutral Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin: Insuman® Basal (100 I.U./ml) in TactiPen® re-usable pen

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Insulin Glargine (HOE901)/NPH Insulin

Intervention Type DRUG

Arm 1: Subcutaneous injection of Insulin Glargine with the TactiPen® injector pen once daily at any time, but each day at the same time

Arm 2: Subcutaneous injection of Protamine Hagedorn basal insulin with the TactiPen® injector pen once or twice daily at the discretion of the treating physician

The starting dose is 10 I.U. (NPH basal insulin) resp. 10 U (insulin glargine) per day.

The dose adjustments will be based on the results of self-monitoring.
