6. Must have a stable weight, i.e., increasing or decreasing not more than 5% in the 3 months before week -3
7. Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL for men and less than or equal to 1.4 mg/dL for women at Week -3
8. ALT and AST levels within 2 times the upper limit of normal and bilirubin within the upper limit of normal range at Week -3 unless in the opinion of the investigator and agreed upon by the medical monitor that the findings are consistent with Gilbert's disease
9. Fasting plasma glucose should be less than 270 mg/dL (14,9 mmol/L) at Week -3. In cases where there is doubt concerning fasting conditions, a one-time repeat of the fasting plasma glucose is allowed (fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 hours before the test)
10. Healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening other than those clinical tests with specific limits indicated in the exclusion criteria. If the results of the serum chemistry panel including liver enzymes, other specific tests, hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the subject may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal would not preclude the subject's safe participation in the study. This determination must be recorded in the subject's source documents and initialed by the investigator.
11. Women must be:
– postmenopausal as defined as amenorrhea for at least 6 months before screening and a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level consistent with postmenopausal status as per the central reference laboratory at Week -3, or

– or if sexually active, be practicing an effective method of birth control such as hormonal prescription oral contraceptives containing no more than 25 micro gram ethynylestradiol, progesterone implants or injections, intrauterine device (IUD), or male partner with a vasectomy. A double-barrier method such as condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps with spermicidal foam, cream, or gel may be used as a method of birth control where country-specific regulations permit. Women of the childbearing potential must have a negative serum beta human chrionic gonsdotropin pregnancy test at Week - 3 and a negative urine pregnancy test at baseline before the first dose of study drug is received.
12. It is recommended that men, who have female partners of childbearing potential, use a double barrier method of birth control and to not donate sperm during the study and for 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.
13. Willing to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol
14. Subjects must have signed an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and pro

6. Fasting triglyceride >6.77 mmol/L (600 mg/dL) at Week -3. A one-time repeat of the fasting triglyceride is allowed (fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 hours before the test)

10. History or evidence of a clinically-significant cardiac conduction abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude safe participation in this study
11.History of cardiovascular disability (functional Class III or IV) according to the New York Heart Association Classification of Cardiac Disease
12. An average from 3 seated blood pressure readings of diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 100 mg/Hg or systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 160 mm/Hg at Week -3
13. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) >10 mIU/L at screening. Subjects on medication for hypothyroidism must be on a stable dose for at least 3 months before Week -3 with no changes anticipated for the duration of the study
14. Active duodenal or gastric ulcer within the past year before Week -3 requiring medical therapy or a history of complicated gastric or duodenal ulcer (perforation, obstruction, or bleed)
15. History of inflammatory bowel disease, gluten or nongluten induced enteropathy, or other significant malabsorptive syndromes
16. Malignancy or a history of a malignancy within 5 years before the start of the screening period, other than basal cell carcinomas of the skin or in situ cervical carcinoma
17. Pregnant or lactating, or women who plan to become pregnant during the study

Primary Outcome(s)

Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to compare the effects of JNJ-28431754 relative to placebo on:
- change in FPG from baseline through Week 12
- proportion of subjects with A1C <6.5% and <7.0% at Week 12
- change in 7-point self monitored blood glucose (SMBG) profiles from baseline through Week 12
- proportion of subjects with symptomatic hypoglycemia and the rate of symptomatic hypoglycemia throughout the study
- PK exposure, to explore exposure-response relationships, and to develop a population PK model
- safety and tolerability compared with placebo

Main Objective: The primary objective of this dose-ranging study is to evaluate the effects of JNJ-28431754 as compared with placebo on the change in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) from baseline to Week 12 in subjects with T2DM.

Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and safety evaluations.
