Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding liraglutide to high dose insulin therapy compared to high dose insulin therapy alone in patients with insulin-treated Type 2 diabetes with insulin requirements of \> 100 units of insulin per day.
Detailed Description:
40 subjects with Type 2 diabetes using \> 100 units of insulin per day with or without metformin with HbA1c \> 6.5% will be randomized into 2 treatment groups: treatment group will have liraglutide added to insulin and control group will have insulin uptitration only for 6 months. Primary endpoint to be compared between groups will be HbA1c at 6 months. Secondary endpoints will include weight, total daily insulin dose, percent time in euglycemic, hyperglycemic, and hypoglycemic ranges by continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and effect on GlycoMark and hs-CRP. Safety endpoints will include incidence of hypoglycemia and incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.
