Baseline and 6 month data are presented as mean (SD).
*A 2-factor repeated-measures regression analysis was used to assess time effects and time by treatment effect interactions on all outcome variables.
Logarithmically-transformed variables.
Calculated by multiplying Matsuda index by AUC for C-peptide.
AUC, area under the curve; HOMA2%S, Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 index of insulin sensitivity.
