Table 2. Outcome measures of the FCL treatment period and the control period.

Outcome measure FCL treatment period Control period p-value
* Daytime was defined as 06:00−24:00, ** Nighttime was defined as 24:00−06:00. Data are expressed as the median (IQR). TIR was the primary endpoint, tested at a significance threshold of α = 0.05. TITR, TBR, TAR, and median glucose were the key secondary endpoints, evaluated using a Bonferroni-adjusted significance threshold of α = 0.0125. All other metrics were considered exploratory and are reported with nominal p-values. Statistically significant results after correction for multiple comparisons are indicated in bold. n = 15.
