Study Arms:
- Empagliflozin and Linagliptin (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): After the 4 weeks run-in phase (stable metformin medication), patients will be consecutively randomized (1:1) to empagliflozin 10 mg and linagliptin 5 mg orally once daily. After 14 days empagliflozin will be up-titrated to 25 mg (once daily), if fasting blood glucose is ≥ 100 mg /dl and no hypoglycemic symptoms are recognized.
- Metformin and Insulin sc (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Metformin p.o. and insulin sc After the 4 weeks run-in phase (stable metformin medication), patients will maintain on their metformin dosage (850 or 1000 mg orally twice daily) and insulin glargine (Lantus™) once daily subcutaneous will be added. Initially 2 - 4 U Lantus™ daily (depending on body weight) will be given, and adjusted every third day (telephone counseling) by adding 2 U if fasting blood glucose is not ≤ 125 mg/dl (16). After a stable dosage (i.e. no change of dosage for 1 week) has been reached, adjustments regarding an increment of Lantus™ will be based on confirmed fasting blood glucose of ≥ 126 mg/dl (on at least two consecutive day).

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
