14. The method of claim 11, wherein the patient's type 2 diabetes mellitus is not adequately controlled on insulin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the patient receives lixisenatide in combination with metformin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
