12. Participants had a diagnosis of T2DM (non-insulin dependent) based on diagnostic criteria of the ADA. Criteria included:

1. Fasting plasma glucose level of ≥ 126 mg/dL where fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 hours, or

2. 2-hour plasma glucose level of ≥ 200 mg/dL during an oral glucose tolerance test, or

3. random plasma glucose level of ≥ 200 mg/dL, or

4. HbA1c ≥ 6.5%.

13. Diagnosis could have been historical (documented) or participants could have been diagnosed for this study.

14. Participants may have been taking concomitant metformin if the dose was stable for at least 30 days prior to Day 1.

15. Participants may have been taking statin or antihypertensive drugs if the dose was stable for at least 30 days prior to Day 1.

Inclusion criteria for all participants (Groups 1, 2, and 3):

16. Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants who were sexually active agreed to routinely use adequate contraception from Screening until 30 days after receiving the dose of study drug. NOTE: Women not of childbearing potential were defined as those who were surgically sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation) or who were postmenopausal (defined as at least 45 years of age and 1 year since last regular menses).

17. Participant had a negative urine test result for selected substances of abuse (including alcohol and cotinine) at Screening and Check-in (Day -1).

18. Participant had clinical chemistry, hematology, and complete urinalysis (fasted for at least 8 hours) results within the reference range for the testing laboratory (except results associated with T2DM) unless the out-of-range results were deemed not clinically meaningful by the investigator or sponsor.

19. Participant had a negative test result for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV), and no known history of human immunodeficiency virus.
