a

Values reported are the percentage of patients, unless otherwise stated in the table.

b

All reported P values are from generalized linear mixed models that account for clustering by physician.

c

An intensive goal was defined as an A1C goal ≤7.0. A moderate goal was defined as an A1C goal ≥7.1.

d

Model predicted life expectancy was taken from the life expectancy predicted by the embedded prediction model in the Personal DC tool. Control patients were also run through the model to generate model predicted life expectancy for result comparison.
