*Glycated hemoglobin goal is <6.5 for the intensive and 7–7.9 inclusive, for the standard treatment arms

†Ever had a measured glycated hemoglobin >6.5/>7.9 among those who achieved glycated hemoglobin goals in their respective treatment arms

‡ Time to first glycated hemoglobin goal achievement, if value <6.5/7–7.9 inclusive at baseline time to achievement = 0 days.

§ Proportions of scheduled visits that participants attended

|| Denominator includes all scheduled clinic visits up to the last recorded glycated hemoglobin measurement during the trial
