| 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)*** | 77.0 (69.0‒83.0)*** |
| HbA1c (%) | 7.2 (6.5‒8.1) | 6.4 (5.8‒6.9)** | 6.0 (5.5‒6.5)*** |
| 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)*** | 39.5 (14.4‒70.3) |
