2. A known history of T2D treated either with diet alone, oral monotherapy, any combination of oral antidiabetic agents, short-acting GLP1-RA (exenatide, liraglutide) or insulin therapy except for degludec and glargine U300.

3. Medical and surgical patients expected to be admitted length of stay (LOS) longer than 3 days

4. Subjects must have a randomization BG > 140 mg and < 400 mg/dL without laboratory evidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (bicarbonate < 18 mEq/L, pH < 7.30, or positive serum or urinary ketones).
