Shown are repeated-measures comparisons between the SAP run-in week and the 4th, 8th, and 12th week of AP use. HbA1c was collected at the start of the AP (end of SAP run-in week) and again at the end of the 4th, 8th, and 12th week of AP use. Statistically significant changes are highlighted in bold.
