Adequate contraceptive measures include and are not limited to oral contraceptives (stable use for 2 or more cycles before screening); intrauterine devices; Depo-Provera; Norplant System implants; bilateral tubal ligation; vasectomy; condom or diaphragm plus either contraceptive sponge, foam, or jelly; and abstinence 18. Be willing to return for all clinic visits and complete all study-related procedures, including self-monitoring of blood glucose 19.
