a

Simple linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between change in A1C and change in selected CGM metrics for the entire cohort. For the subgroup analyses by baseline A1C, in part A, slopes were forced to be the same across subgroups since there were no significant interaction between baseline A1C and all 3 predictors; in part B, regression models were done separately in each subgroup since there were significant interactions between baseline A1C and change in A1C.

RMS = root mean square error from the least squares regression model.
