Data are mean ± SD or median unless otherwise indicated.

*

Calculated as absolute value of (sensor − YSI) where, for each paired point, sensor = time-matched continuously measured glucose value and YSI = SMBG values.

Calculated as (sensor − YSI)/YSI.

‡Calculated as the absolute value of (sensor − YSI)/YSI.

From the time of sensor insertion (in 24-h increments). P values calculated by the χ2 Kruskal-Wallis test from median values.
