* Previous use of insulin other than basal insulin eg, prandial or pre-mixed insulin, in the year prior to screening. Note: Short term treatment (≤10 days) due to intercurrent illness is allowed.
* History discontinuation of a previous treatment with Glucagon Like Peptide -1 Receptor Agonists for safety/tolerability or lack of efficacy.
* Participant who had previously participated in any clinical trial with lixisenatide or the insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC or had previously received lixisenatide.
* Use of weight loss drugs within 3 months prior to screening visit.
* Within the last 6 months prior to screening visit: history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or heart failure requiring hospitalization. Planned coronary, carotid or peripheral artery revascularisation procedures to be performed during the study period.
* History of pancreatitis (unless pancreatitis was related to gallstones and cholecystectomy was already performed), chronic pancreatitis, pancreatitis during a previous treatment with incretin therapies, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery.
* Personal or immediate family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or genetic conditions that predispose to MTC (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes).
* Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure above 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure above 95 mmHg) at screening visit.
* At screening visit, Body Mass Index (BMI) less than or equal to 20 or above 40 kg/m\^2.
* At screening visit amylase and/or lipase more than 3 times the upper limit of the normal (ULN) laboratory range.
* At screening visit alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or alkaline phosphatase (AST) more than 3 ULN.
* At screening visit calcitonin above or equal to 20 pg/mL (5.9 pmol/L).
* Any contraindication to metformin use, according to local labeling, if the participant was taking metformin.
* Participant who had a renal function impairment with creatinine clearance less than 30 mL/min (using the Cockcroft and Gault formula) or end-stage renal disease for participants, not treated with metformin.

Exclusion criteria for randomization:

* HbA1c less than 7% or above 10% .
* Mean fasting SMPG calculated from the self-measurements for 7 days the week before randomization visit was above 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).
* Average insulin glargine daily dose less than 20 Units or above 50 Units (in the week before randomization visit).
* Amylase and/or lipase more than 3 ULN .
