Unless otherwise indicated all data are presented as mean ± SD.

Comparisons are made between end-of-treatment and baseline, or post-treatment and baseline within the Total Cohort and within each of the Insulin Pump and MDI subgroups.

* For the analysis of AGP parameters, evaluable data from baseline and end of treatment periods was available for 39 subjects. The post-treatment period included 38 evaluable subjects due to missing data from a subject in the MDI group.

† Indicates p<0.05 for comparison with the corresponding baseline value. Specifically: HbA1c end-of-treatment comparison with baseline for the Total Cohort, p<0.0001; post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Total Cohort, p = 0.007; end-of-treatment comparison with baseline for the Pump Group, p<0.0001; post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Pump Group, p = 0.0007. Glycemic Exposure post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Total Cohort, p = 0.02; post-treatment comparison with baseline for the MDI Group, p = 0.01. Glycemic Variability post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Total Cohort, p = 0.04; post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Pump Group, p = 0.047. Glycemic Stability post-treatment comparison with baseline for the Pump Group, p = 0.03. Percentage of Time Spent >180mg/dL post-treatment comparison with baseline for the MDI Group, p = 0.04. Percentage of Time Spent 70-140mg/dL post-treatment comparison with baseline for the MDI Group, p = 0.003.
