^aΔ: change in; CV: coefficient of variation; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; Hb: hemoglobin; MCP-1: monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; HOMA2 %B: homeostatic model assessment of pancreatic beta cell function; TNFα: tumor necrosis factor alpha; BMI: body mass index; nHbA1c: HbA1c normalized to day 84 hemoglobin mass (see Section 2 for details). ^bMCP-1 data unavailable on a portion of participants. ^cSpearman Exact test has no confidence interval.
