Individual dose for each patient has been identified using virtual uptitration following the given titration rule. The number of virtual patients with a blood glucose <70 mg/dL during uptitration is given as “#VP-BG70, uptitration.” For the resulting individualized dose, the mean value across 100 virtual patients is given (standard deviation in parenthesis). The risk for hypoglycemia for each treatment/dosing regimen after virtual uptitration is derived using an established metric, the “LBGI.”14,15 The mean LBGI across all 100 virtual patients was calculated (“hyporisk-LBGI, final dose”). Tt and Ttt describe the average time in the given glucose target range (average for 100 virtual patients).
