| Parameter | Insulin group (n = 292) | SU group (n = 159) | Non‐insulin/SU group (n = 29) |

| Age (years) | 74.0 (65.0–81.0) | 81.0 (75.0–85.0)a | 77.0 (69.0–83.0)a |
| HbA1c (%) | 7.2 (6.5–8.1) | 6.4 (5.8–6.9)a | 6.0 (5.5–6.5)a |
| Glucose value at presentation (before treatment) | 32.0 (25.0–41.0) | 33.0 (27.0–38.0) | 31.5 (23.5–42.0) |
| eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) | 55.9 (36.1–75.4) | 42.3 (29.9–59.9)a | 39.5 (14.4–70.3) |
