Study Arms:
- Metformin alone (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): After a 3-week course of intensive insulin therapy, participants will be treated with ongoing metformin monotherapy. Metformin will be initiated at 500mg twice a day for the first 2 weeks, before progressing to 1000mg twice a day for the duration of the trial (24 months).
- Metformin + Intermittent Insulin Therapy (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): After a 3-week course of intensive insulin therapy, participants will be treated with ongoing metformin monotherapy, initiated at 500mg twice a day for the first 2 weeks, before progressing to 1000mg twice a day for the duration of the trial (24 months). Participants will stop their metformin for 2 weeks every 3 months, during which time they will receive intermittent intensive insulin therapy for 2 weeks. The 2-week course of insulin therapy will be repeated at 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 15-,18- and 21-months, with final outcome measurement performed at 24-months.

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