Summary

The primary objective of this study is to show that a prandial insulin regimen, consisting of premeal insulin lispro "mid mixture" (or a combined regimen of insulin lispro "mid mixture" and insulin lispro "low mixture") plus metformin will result in significantly better overall glycemic control (lower HbA1c) at endpoint than once-daily insulin glargine plus metformin. Insulin lispro "mid mixture" consists of 50% insulin lispro and 50% NPL. Insulin lispro "low mixture" consists of 25% insulin lispro and 75% NPL.

In a substudy of approximately 60 patients, additional data will be collected on markers associated with risk of atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease in the context of a controlled, outpatient, high-fat test meal.

insulin injection pens; comply with their prescribed diet, exercise, and medication regimen; perform self-monitoring of blood glucose; and use the patient diary as required for this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Have hypersensitivity to metformin or a known allergy to metformin hydrochloride,

insulin lispro MM, insulin lispro LM, or insulin glargine, or excipients contained in these products.

- Have a history of renal transplantation or are currently receiving renal dialysis or

have serum creatinine greater than or equal to 135 micromol/L (1. 5 mg/dL) for males and greater than or equal to 110 micromol/L (1. 2 mg/dL) for females.

- Have cardiac disease with functional status that is Class III or IV

- Have obvious clinical signs or symptoms of liver disease, acute or chronic hepatitis,

or alanine transaminase (ALT) greater than three times the upper limit of the reference range as defined by the central laboratory.
