Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess the total daily amount of exogenous insulin [ Time Frame: Daily, Baseline through Day 28 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess total exogenous daily bolus and basal insulin use [ Time Frame: Daily, Baseline through Day 28 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Assess the amount of exogenous use at each meal [ Time Frame: Daily, Baseline through Day 28 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose [ Time Frame: Days -1, 1-3, 8, 13, 28-31 and 37 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in glucose levels as measured by Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) [ Time Frame: Week 1 through week 5 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in postprandial glucose by Area Under Curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Day 1 and Day 29; predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-dose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
