Brief Summary

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

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of an intensive insulin regimen with insulin glargine and insulin glulisine in terms of change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level from week 12 (visit 7) to week 24 (visit 10).

Secondary Objectives:

1. Percentage of patients with HbA1c \< 7% at week 24.
2. Percentage of patients with HbA1c \< 7% and no symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycemia event at week 24.
3. Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) and 7-point Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) at week 0, week 12 and week 24.
4. Doses of insulin glargine and insulin glulisine: the daily dose (U) and the daily dose / kg (U/kg) will be calculated at week 24.
5. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, weight change will be measured at week 0, week 12 and week 24.
6. Number of patients suffering hypoglycemias (asymptomatic, symptomatic, nocturnal symptomatic, severe and nocturnal severe) will be evaluated during the treatment period. 7-Adverse events.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Type 1 diabetes mellitus
2. Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy, defined as the application of photocoagulation or surgery performed within 6 months before study entry or any other unstable (rapidly progressing) retinopathy that may require photocoagulation or surgery during the study (confirmed by an optic fundus performed over the past 2 years)
3. Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine, or other major disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult
4. History of impaired hepatic function defined as Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than three times the upper limit of normal
5. History of impaired renal function defined as serum creatinine \>135 µmol/l in men and \> 110 µmol/l in women
