Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficiency of Lantus plus combined oral hypoglycaemic agents in terms of respondents percentage. The respondent is defined as the person achieving a value in the final determination of HbA1c \< 7% as its absolute value and/or a decreasing in the final value of HbA1c of more than 12% compared with the initial value (final HbA1c vs. initial HbA1c). Describe the glycemia levels and body weight change in the two response groups, (respondents and non-respondents). Describe the adverse events Evaluate the safety of using the medication according to the incidence and relevance of the hypoglycemia events, (symptomatic, diurnal, nocturnal, severe). Estimate the intra-patient variability of the fasting glycemia

Conditions

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Outcome Measures

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Insulin glargine

Interventions

Insulin glargine DRUG

Patients will begin with a fixed, subcutaneous dose of insulin glargine, (10 U), in its commercial presentation, which will be adjusted week by week, according to the values of the glycemia when fasting (FBG), adding 2, 4, 6 or 8 units of insulin glargine over the following twelve weeks, during which the therapeutic objective should be attained, namely the glucose goal during fasting of 100 mg/dl (\<6.0 mmol/L), and the active treatment is to be continued for three more months.

• Pregnancy or breast feeding
• Not using an adequate birth control method, (only for potentially fertile females) : for example, the use of systemic hormones, (pills or birth control implants), intrauterine devices or a barrier method, (diaphragm with intra-vaginal spermicides, male or female preservative)
• Known hypersensitivity to insulin glargine or any of its excipients
• Malignant process, except for basal carcinoma cells during the last five years
• More than two weeks of continuous treatment with systemic glucocorticoids in the last 6 months
• Concomitant treatment with non-cardio selective beta blockers
• Known supra-renal failure
• Known hemoglobinopathy or anemia, uncontrolled or unstable
• A psychiatric disturbance which prevents the patient from understanding the nature, objective and possible consequences of the trial
• A history of drug or alcohol abuse in the last two years or any current addiction
