Sponsored by:	Sanofi-Aventis
Information provided by:	Sanofi-Aventis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00258804

Purpose

Primary Objectives :

To compare the number of hypoglycaemic events (severe, symptomatic, asymptomatic, nocturnal) in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin glargine (Lantus®) and glimepiride (Amaryl®), before, during and after the period of fasting in Ramadan.

Secondary Objectives :

To assess glycaemic control before, during and after Ramadan in terms of HbA1c, FBG, and 8-point blood glucose profile (FBG and 8-point blood glucose profile will be collected with a blood glucose monitor through a monthly patient diary).
To assess the relationship between hypoglycaemia events during Ramadan and blood glucose control prior and during Ramadan.
To assess patient satisfaction
To document adverse events (all serious adverse events, non serious adverse events) throughout the study (all events will be collected through the monthly patient diary).
