      least a 4-fold increase in titers compared to baseline value, mean change from baseline in
      AIA titers between treatment groups, the percentage of subjects with confirmed positive AIA
      who develop any anti-insulin neutralizing antibodies up to visit Week 26, and the percentage
      of subjects in each treatment group with confirmed positive AIA up to visit Week 26

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Male or nonpregnant, nonlactating female subjects between the ages of 18 and 75 years,
             inclusive.

          2. Ability to provide written, personally signed, and dated informed consent to
             participate in the study, in accordance with the ICH GCP Guideline E6 and all
             applicable regulations, before initiating any study related procedures.

          3. Ability to understand and fully comply with all study procedures and restrictions.

          4. Subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus who meet one of the
             following:

               1. If insulin-naïve, subjects should have been on at least 2 approved OAMs for at
                  least 12 weeks before screening, and the clinician has decided to add insulin
                  therapy.

               2. If already being treated with a basal and/or bolus insulin, subjects should have
                  been treated with insulin for at least 6 months in addition to at least 1
                  approved OAM, and must not have changed the type or brand of insulin within 6
                  months prior to screening.

          5. HbA1c values as follows:

               1. If insulin-naïve, HbA1c ≤ 11.0%.

               2. If previously on a basal insulin regimen, HbA1c ≥ 7.0% and ≤ 11.0%.

          6. Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 45 kg/m2.

          7. Adherence to a prudent diet and exercise regimen recommended by the medical provider,
             and willingness to maintain these consistently for the duration of the study.

          8. Concomitant medications are allowed, provided that no significant dosing changes are
             anticipated during the study (see the exclusion criteria below for specific prohibited
             concomitant medications); for concomitant thyroid medications, subjects must have been
             on a stable dosage for 90 days before screening.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Participation in another clinical study or use of any study drug within 30 days before
             screening.

          2. Previous use of a biosimilar insulin, either basal or bolus.

          3. Diabetic ketoacidosis within a year before screening.

          4. Brittle type 2 diabetes mellitus within the year before screening (e.g., multiple
             hospitalizations related to diabetes mellitus and/or severe hypoglycemia for which the
             subject required 3rd party assistance).

          5. Any severe, delayed sequela of diabetes mellitus, e.g., worsening end-stage renal
             disease, advanced coronary artery disease, or myocardial infarction within the year
             before screening, or autonomic peristaltic problems, e.g., gastroparesis.

          6. Anticipated change in insulin used during the study (change in dosage is allowed, but
             change in type or brand of insulin will result in the subject being withdrawn from the
             study).

          7. Inadequately controlled thyroid disease, defined as a TSH or free T4 value > the upper
             limit of normal.

          8. BMI > 45 kg/m2.

          9. Any clinically significant (in the opinion of the Investigator) hematology or
             chemistry test results at screening, including any liver function test > 3x the upper
             limit of normal (subjects with elevated bilirubin due to Gilbert syndrome are eligible
             to participate).

         10. Documented history of anti-insulin antibodies.

         11. Treatment with glucocorticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or cytostatic agents within

             prohibited; chronically administered oral, inhaled, topical, or intra-articular
             corticosteroids at a stable dosage are allowed if no increase in dose is anticipated
             during the study; See Appendix 3 [Section 17.3] for a list of allowed and prohibited
             concomitant medications).

         13. Alcohol or substance use disorder within the 2 years before screening.

         14. Any previous or anticipated treatment with interferons.

         15. Any history of malignant disease within 5 years before screening, except for
             adequately treated basal cell carcinoma.

         16. Severe concomitant physical or psychiatric diseases or conditions.

         17. A history of a positive test result for HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C; any subject
             who has a positive test result during the study may continue at the discretion of the
             Investigator.

         18. Any history of pancreatitis or pancreatectomy.

         19. Any diagnosis or condition that requires the subject to undergo procedures that could
             decrease antibodies in plasma or that would require treatment with immunosuppressant
             agents.

         20. Any condition e.g., splenectomy, autoimmune disease, or rheumatologic disease, that
             could affect immunologic responses, could indicate an altered immune system, or could
             require treatment with a prohibited medication.

         21. Any unresolved infection or a history of active infection within 30 days before
             screening other than mild or viral illness (as judged by the Investigator).

         22. Any other disease or condition that in the opinion of the Investigator could confound
             the study results or limit the subject's ability to participate in the study or comply
             with follow-up procedures; or any other factor that would indicate a significant risk
             of loss to follow up.

         23. Intolerance or history of hypersensitivity to insulin glargine or any excipient of IP.

         24. Inability or unwillingness to wear the CGM sensor as required for the study, or to
             comply with the concomitant medication requirements in the FreeStyle Libre Pro
             Indications and Important Safety Information, during the CGM periods.
