- Change in HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin) From Baseline to Week 28 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 28 ]The primary objective of this study was to compare the effect on glycemic control (HbA1c) of exenatide suspension administered once weekly to that achieved by exenatide administered twice daily for 28 weeks in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Percentage of Subjects Achieving HbA1c <7% at Week 28 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 28 ]Percentage of subjects achieving HbA1c <7% at Week 28/Study Termination
- Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose Concentrations From Baseline to Week 28 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 28 ]Change in fasting plasma glucose concentrations from baseline to Week 28/Study Termination
- Change in Body Weight (kg) From Baseline to Week 28 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 28 ]Change in body weight (kg) from baseline to Week 28/Study Termination.
- Change in 2-hour Postprandial Glucose Concentrations From Baseline to Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]Change in 2-hour postprandial glucose concentrations from baseline to Week 16.
