- Adjusted Mean Change in HbA1c Levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To assess the efficacy of 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg dapagliflozin compared to placebo as add-on therapy to insulin in improving glycaemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycaemic control on ≥ 30 IU injectable insulin daily for at least 8 weeks prior to enrolment, as determined by the change in HbA1c levels from baseline to Week 24, excluding data after insulin up-titration.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin is superior in reducing body weight or causing less weight gain as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment after 24 weeks of treatment (LOCF), excluding data after insulin up-titration.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Calculated Mean Daily Insulin Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin leads to a lower absolute calculated mean daily insulin dose as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment alone, from baseline to week 24, including data after insulin up-titration.
- Proportion of Participants With Calculated Mean Daily Insulin Dose Reduction [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin leads to higher percentage of participants with calculated mean daily insulin dose reduction from baseline to week 24 (i.e. reduction >= 10%) as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]To examine whether treatment with dapagliflozin in combination with insulin is superior in reducing Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) as compared to placebo added to insulin treatment after 24 weeks of treatment, excluding data after insulin up-titration.
- Proportion of Participants With Lack of Glycemic Control [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 24 ]Participants with lack of glycemic control or insulin up-titration for failing to achieve pre-specified glycemic targets
