To be eligible for Randomization into the trial, a subject must satisfy all of the following glycemic criteria:

If HbA1c ≥ 8.0% but ≤ 10.0%: subject may proceed to Randomization;
If HbA1c ≥ 7.8% but \< 8.0%, subject not eligible to proceed, but may be retested once to establish eligibility (or lack thereof). If HbA1c level ≥ 8.0% upon retest, subject is eligible to proceed; otherwise they should be withdrawn.
If HbA1c \< 7.8%, subject not eligible to proceed (no retest allowed).
