a

Three people in the RT-CGM group opted not to use the technology after randomization, thus n = 47.

b

Six people in the RT-CGM group opted not to do and/or provide SMBG data, hence n = 44; 3/6 includes the 3 people who did not use the RT-CGM.

c

Three people in the SMBG group did not do finger stick checks and/or provide the data, hence n = 47.
