Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Bydureon 2 mg Once Weekly
Humulin kwickpen
Patients randomised to Bydureon will be treated with Metformin 1g BID, and only receive 10U of Humulin kwickpen QD at bedtime, with no more up-titration of insulin during the study.
Patients randomised to the comparator group will be treated with Meformin 1g BID and Humulin kwickpen to reach a fP-glucose level of 6 mmol/l. For that reason patients will be instructed to increase the bedtime Insulin dose of 2-4U every third day until this goal is reached.
