HbA1c lowering efficacy of gliclazide MR (a) at month 6 as stratified by baseline glucose lowering strategies and (b) as defined by the achievement of HbA1c ≤ 7.0 and ≤ 6.5% at months 3 and 6. n = 1142 for the “Newly Diagnosed or Treatment Naïve” group; n = 2550 for the “Add-on to MET” group; n = 819 for the “Switch from SU” group and n = 249 for the “Switch from DPP-4i” group. *P < 0.001 for the difference between corresponding baseline and month 6 HbA1c values. HbA1c data are presented as mean (SD). DPP-4i, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor; MET metformin; SU sulfonylurea
