Brief Summary: Primary objective
The primary study objective is to demonstrate superior efficacy of an intensified insulin regimen with insulin glulisine and insulin glargine to a two-injection conventional insulin regimen in terms of change in glycated hemoglobin A1c HbA1c from baseline to endpoint
Secondary objectives
Secondary study objectives are to compare the intensified insulin regimen with insulin glulisine and insulin glargine to a two-injection conventional insulin regimen in terms of blood glucose BG values fasting pre-postprandial ppBG nocturnal mean daily fasting plasma glucose daily BG profiles BG and HbA1c response rates predefined hypoglycemic events adverse events change of late diabetes complications weight body-mass-index course of total daily insulin dose and adjustment blood lipid profile microalbuminuria standard lab and quality of lifetreatment satisfaction
