Abbreviations: %A1c, percent glycated hemoglobin A1c; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; GMFI, geometric mean fluorescence intensity; IL, interleukin; MFBG, mean fasting blood glucose; Th17, T-helper cell 17.

P values represent comparisons of geometric means using a t test with unequal variance (Satterthwaite).
