• •History of hypoglycemia unawareness
• •Weight change of more than 5 kilogram (kg) during the 3 months preceding the screening visit
• •History of unexplained pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatectomy, stomach/gastric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease

• •Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to the time of screening
• •Cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, endocrine disease, active malignant tumor or other major systemic disease or patients with short life expectancy making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study results difficult, history or presence of clinically significant diabetic retinopathy, history or presence of macular edema likely to require laser treatment within the study period
• •Uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension at the time of screening with a resting systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure \>180 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) or \>95 mmHg, respectively
• •Laboratory findings at the time of screening: aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, or alkaline phosphatase: \>2 times upper limit of the normal (ULN) laboratory range; amylase and/or lipase: \>3 times ULN; total bilirubin: \>1.5 times ULN (except in case of Gilbert's syndrome); hemoglobin \<11 gram/deciliter and/or neutrophils \<1500 per cubic millimeter (mm\^3) and/or platelets \<100 000/mm\^3; positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen and/or Hepatitis C antibody and positive serum pregnancy test in females of childbearing potential
• •Any clinically significant abnormality identified on physical examination, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, or vital signs at the time of screening that, in the judgment of the investigator or any sub-investigator, precludes safe completion of the study or constrains efficacy assessment
• •Patients who are considered by the investigator as inappropriate for this study for any reason (for example, impossibility to meet specific protocol requirements, such as scheduled visits, being able to do self-injections, likelihood of requiring treatment during the screening phase and treatment phase with drugs not permitted by the clinical study protocol)
• •Patient was an investigator or any sub-investigator, pharmacist, study coordinator, other study staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of the protocol
• •Use of other oral or injectable antidiabetic or hypoglycemic agents other than sulfonylurea or basal insulin (for example, metformin, alpha glucosidase inhibitor, thiazolidinedione, rimonabant, exenatide, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, fast acting insulin for 1 week or more etc.) within 3 months prior to the time of screening
• •Use of systemic glucocorticoids (excluding topical application or inhaled forms) for 1 week or more within 3 months prior to the time of screening
• •Use of any investigational drug within 3 months prior to screening
• •Participation in any previous study with lixisenatide
• •End-stage renal disease defined by a serum creatinine clearance of \<15 milliliter/minute (mL/min) (calculated by the Cockcroft and Gault formula) and/or patients on dialysis
• •Clinically relevant history of gastrointestinal disease associated with prolonged nausea and vomiting, including, but not limited to gastroparesis and gastroesophageal reflux disease requiring medical treatment, within 6 months prior to the time of screening
• •Allergic reaction to any glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist in the past (for example, exenatide, liraglutide) or to metacresol
