Glucose values are mg/dL. Data are mean ± SD or N (%).

Baseline glucose minus nadir.

Glucose Drop divided by baseline glucose (expressed as a percentage).

§

Glucose ≤70 mg/dL.

||

Includes 2 visits (1 basal-stopped and 1 basal-continued) where treatment was given for hypoglycemia based on a meter glucose value, but the central laboratory value was >70 mg/dL (85 and 71 mg/dL). P =0.001 for analysis restricted to laboratory confirmed cases.

Glucose increased ≥20% from baseline to ≥200 mg/dL.

#

Glucose measured 15, 30 and 45 minutes following completion of exercise.
