Primary Outcome Measures:

Demonstrate non-inferiority of dry powder inhaled insulin (EXUBERA) compared to insulin glargine (LANTUS) in terms of glycemic control (HbA1c) after 26 weeks of treatment [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Secondary endpoints include the following at week 26: [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Proportion of patients achieving HbA1c < 6.5% [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Incidence of clinical adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Proportion of patients achieving HbA1c < 7.0 [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose level [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in postprandial blood glucose excursions as measured by 8-point profiles and as determined by standardized meal tolerance tests [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Proportion of patients achieving HbA1c < 8.0% [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in fasting and postprandial plasma glucose, lipids (such as total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides) and CV biomarkers (such as hs-CRP, leptin, adiponectin and apoB and spot urine microalbumin) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Incidence and severity of hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Incidence and severity of nocturnal hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Change from baseline in 24-hour mean glucose values, and glycemic variability measured by CGMS [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in body weight and body mass index (BMI) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Proportion of patients who discontinue due to insufficient clinical response [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change from baseline in treatment satisfaction, diabetes related quality of life, mental health and energy/vitality [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Characterization of a 24-hour glucose profile in a subset of patients [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Age > 30 years and ≤ 75 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus made > 6 months prior to study entry
Screening HbA1c > 7.0%
Currently treated on a stable dose of at least 2 oral antidiabetic agents for at least 3 months prior to study entry; including a sulfonylurea and/or metformin, and/or a thiazolidinedione

Exclusion Criteria:

Smoking within last 6 months PFTs outside of range

Type 1 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus currently (last three months) treated with an insulin regimen (alone or with Oral Antidiabetic Agents, OAs)
Active liver disease; significantly-impaired hepatic function, as shown by, but not limited to, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) above 2x the upper limit of normal as measured at visit 1. However, patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) >1.5 UNL as a result of hepatic steatosis are permitted to enter the study.
