Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or as the median with the interquartile range (IQR; (25th, 75th percentile) in parenthesis

MG 24-h mean glucose concentration, SD standard deviation of MG, MAGE 24-h mean amplitude of glycemic excursion, AUC area under the curve

^aAUC > 10 mmol/L is the incremental area under the curve of plasma glucose > 10.0 mmol/L

^bAUC < 3.9 mmol/L is the incremental area under curve of plasma glucose < 3.9 mmol/L

^cPercentage of time in hyperglycemia is the percentage of time the patient is is a hyperglycemic state (glucose level > 10 mmol/L)

^dPercentage of time in normoglycemia is the percentage of time the patient is in a normoglycemic state (glucose level from 3.9 to 10 mmol/L)

^ePercentage of time in hypoglycemia is the percentage of time the patient is in a hypoglycemic state (glucose level < 3.9 mmol/L)
