Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Subjects were recruited from 21 June 2005 to 22 January 2008 at 3 clinical research sites in the United States of America.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Subjects were taken off any non-sulfonylurea oral anti-diabetic agents for a period of time appropriate to the drug. Qualified subjects were randomized to colesevelam hydrochloride, placebo, or open-label insulin glargine for 12 weeks. Difficulties enrolling into the insulin group caused the size of this group to decrease from 15 to 6 subjects.
