3. History of use of animal insulin within the last 3 years or use of approved biosimilar insulin glargine at any time prior to study entry, except for subject who previously participated in MYL-1501D studies and were compliant with the study protocols.
4. History of use of a regular immunomodulator therapy in the 1 year prior to screening.
5. History of autoimmune disorders other than T1DM or insufficiently treated autoimmune thyroid disorders judged clinically relevant by the investigator (recorded while collecting subject history).

7. History of clinically significant acute bacterial, viral or fungal systemic infections in the last 4 weeks prior to screening (recorded while collecting subject history).
8. Any clinically significant abnormality in electrocardiogram (ECG) or safety laboratory tests (LFT, RFT, hematology or any other laboratory deemed clinically relevant by the investigator) conducted at screening and considered by the investigator to make the subject ineligible for the study.

12. Subjects with the following secondary complications of diabetes:

    1. Active proliferative retinopathy as confirmed by a dilated ophthalmoscopy examination / retinal photography (performed by a person legally authorized to do so) within the 6 months prior to screening.
    2. Clinical nephrotic syndrome or diabetic nephropathy with a serum creatinine level >1.5 times of upper limit of reference range at screening
    3. History of severe form of neuropathy or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, recorded while collecting subject history. Subject's with mild or moderate forms of neuropathy will be allowed.
    4. Subjects with a history of limb amputation as a complication of diabetes (at any time), or any vascular procedure during the 1 year prior to screening.
    5. History of diabetic foot or diabetic ulcers in the 1 year prior to screening.
13. Any elective surgery requiring hospitalization planned during the study period.

14. Clinically significant major organ disorder at the time of screening including:

    1. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as stage 2 hypertension by Joint National Committee VII (even if therapy is ongoing, blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg systolic or ≥100 mm Hg diastolic).
    2. Uncontrolled hyperlipidemia (even if therapy is ongoing, LDL >160 mg/dL or triglycerides >500 mg/dL).
    3. Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism (subjects can be included if these conditions are controlled with thyroid hormones or anti-thyroid drugs).
    4. Impaired hepatic function (alanine transaminase [ALT] or aspartate transaminase [AST] value >2 times the upper limit of the reference range and/or serum bilirubin 1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range at the screening visit). Subjects with evidence of Gilberts disease may be included in the study if they have total bilirubin of <3 mg/dL with indirect bilirubin contributing to >80% of the total bilirubin.

15. History of a significant medical condition, such as:

    1. Clinically significant cardiac disease like unstable angina, myocardial infarction, grade 3 or 4 congestive heart failure (CHF) according to New York Heart Association criteria, valvular heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment, and pulmonary hypertension; during the year prior to screening.
