- Participants treated with basal insulin for at least 6 months.
- Participants treated for at least 3 months prior to visit 1 with a stable basal insulin regimen (i.e. type of insulin and time/frequency of the injection). The insulin dose should be stable (± 20%) and ≥20 U/day for at least 2 months prior to visit 1.
- Participants treated with basal insulin alone or in combination with 1 to 3 oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs) that could be: metformin (≥1.5 g/day or maximal tolerated dose), a sulfonylurea (SU), a dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, a glinide. The dose of OADs should be stable for at least 3 months prior to visit 1.
Exclusion criteria:
- At screening: age < legal age of majority.

- Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
- Treatment with glucose-lowering agent(s) other than stated in the inclusion criteria within 3 months prior to screening.
- Previous treatment with short or rapid acting insulin other than in relation to hospitalization or an acute illness.
- Any previous treatment with lixisenatide, or any discontinuation from another glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist due to safety/tolerability issue or lack of efficacy.
- At screening, Body Mass Index (BMI) ≤20 or >40 kg/m^2.
- Weight change of more than 5 kg during the 3 months prior to the screening visit; use of weight loss drugs within 3 months prior to screening.
- Within the last 6 months prior to screening: history of myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure requiring hospitalization. Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation procedures.
- History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery.
- At screening resting systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg.
- Personal or immediate family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or genetic condition that predisposed to MTC (e.g. multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
- Contraindication related to metformin (for participant receiving this treatment), insulin glargine, insulin glulisine or lixisenatide.
- Participants with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min) or end-stage renal disease.
- At screening, amylase and/or lipase >3 times the upper limit of the normal laboratory range (ULN).
- At screening alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3 ULN.
- At screening calcitonin ≥20 pg/ml (5.9 pmol/L).
Exclusion Criteria for randomization at the end of the screening period before randomization:
- HbA1c <7.0% or >9.0%.
- 7-day mean fasting SMPG >140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/L).
- Amylase and/or lipase >3 times ULN.
