glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination or has previously received lixisenatide.
• Use of weight loss drugs within 3 months prior to screening visit.
• Within the last 6 months prior to screening visit: history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or heart failure requiring hospitalization. Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation procedures to be performed during the study period.
• History of pancreatitis (unless pancreatitis was related to gallstones and cholecystectomy was
already performed), chronic pancreatitis, pancreatitis during a previous treatment with incretin therapies, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery.
• Personal or immediate family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or genetic conditions that predispose to MTC (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
• Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure above 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure above 95 mmHg) at screening visit

• At screening visit amylase and/or lipase more than 3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN)
laboratory range,
• At screening visit ALT or AST more than 3 ULN
• At screening visit calcitonin above or equal to 20 pg/mL (5.9 pmol/L)
• Any contraindication to metformin use, according to local labeling, if the patient is taking
metformin.
• Patient who has a renal function impairment with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min (using the Cockroft and Gault formula) or end-stage renal disease for patients, not treated with metformin.
Exclusion criteria for randomization:
• HbA1c less than 7% or above 10% .
• Mean fasting Self Measured Plasma Glucose (SMPG) calculated from the self-measurements for 7 days the week before randomization visit is above 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).
• Average insulin glargine daily dose less than 20U or above 50U ( in the week before
randomization visit).
• Amylase and/or lipase more than 3 ULN
