Intention-to-treat population. HbA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin; NPH = neutral protamine Hagedorn; CI = confidence interval.
Two-sided p value for the null hypothesis: odds ratio = 1 or rate ratio = 1, respectively.
Hypoglycemia rates per patient-year from negative binomial regression.
Standard error shown in parentheses.
