Abbreviation: SMBG, self-monitoring of blood glucose.

a

Test comparing all 3 groups from ANCOVA model controlling for site, baseline scale score, baseline hemoglobin A1c, prior use of SMBG, duration of T2DM, baseline antihyperglycemic treatment, age, race/ethnicity, health literacy, and number of baseline comorbidities.

b

Contrast test from same ANCOVA model comparing average of testing groups with no testing group.
