Prior treatment

• Those who have received premixed insulin therapy and/or basal - meal insulin and/or basal insulin-oral hypoglycemic agents treatment accumulation for 7 days or more, and those who have received CSII therapy in the last one year, and those who have received GLP-1 analogue within 3 months before screening;
• Those with known macrovascular disease: Patients with acute cerebrovascular accident, acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, peripheral artery disease who have received vascular intervention or amputation in the 12 months before enrollment; Or chronic cardiac dysfunction with cardiac function grade III or above;

Other illness
