Assessment on Event Rate of Treatment-emergent Hypoglycemic Events
Major hypoglycemia: events that, in the judgment of the investigator or physician, resulted in loss of consciousness, seizure, coma, or other change in mental status consistent with neuroglycopenia, in which symptoms resolved after administration of intramuscular glucagon or intravenous glucose, required third-party assistance, and was accompanied by a blood glucose concentration < 54 mg/dL prior to treatment. Minor hypoglycemia: symptoms consistent with hypoglycemia and blood glucose concentration < 54 mg/dL prior to treatment and not classified as major hypoglycemia.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will compare the benefits of exenatide once weekly treatment to those achieved by the approved antidiabetic therapies sitagliptin and pioglitazone in subjects whose type 2 diabetes is managed with metformin therapy alone. The safety and tolerability of the three treatment regimens will also be compared.
