Participant Flow

Patients treated with metformin (MET only;confirmatory population used for primary analysis) and additional patients treated with metformin plus either sulfonylurea or meglitinide (MET+SU; exploratory population) were enrolled at a 3:1 ratio; metformin was continued.Within each population, patients were then randomly assigned 1:1 to study treatment

Total DTSQ treatment satisfaction score at baseline (week 0) and after 26 weeks of treatment (LOCF). Total DTSQ treatment satisfaction score is derived as sum score of the individual components 1 and 4-8 of the DTSQ questionnaire. Each component is scored on a scale of 0 (worst case) to 6 (best case). Higher values represent higher treatment satisfaction.
