Proportion of time (%)
In target (3.9–7.8 mmol/L)	95.1±1.7	87.7±3.2	0.031
Above target	0.4±0.2	4.4±2.8	0.180

Mean±SEM (all such values).

iAUC, incremental area under the curve (calculated across the 24 h, using the trapezoidal rule); MAGE, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the difference between consecutive peaks and nadirs if the difference is >1 SD of the mean glucose).
