Legend: Data are mean ± SD, or percentage. Percent change calculated as (data measured at 12 months - data measured at baseline)/data measured at baseline. * significant difference compared with baseline (p < 0.05). P-values for baseline comparisons. Abbreviations: eGFR - estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c - glycosylated hemoglobin; HDL-C - high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C - low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NS - not significant; TC - total cholesterol; TG - triglycerides.
