Continuous glucose monitoring parameters of glucose variability in patients with insulin glargine 300 U/ml or degludec (patients with pre-prandial glucose level of approximately 100 mg/dl)

	Gla300	Deg	p value
Pre-prandial glucose level at breakfast (mg/dl)	100.5 ± 11.1	100.8 ± 15.1	0.931
Mean percentage of time with target glucose range (70–180 mg/dl) (%)	90.3 ± 6.2	82.8 ± 15.4	0.251
Mean percentage of time with hyperglycemia (≥ 180 mg/dl) (%)	8.4 ± 6.2	10.5 ± 11.7	0.680
Mean percentage of time with hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dl) (%)	1.3 ± 1.7	6.7 ± 4.8	0.013*
Mean percentage of time with severe hypoglycemia (< 54 mg/dl) (%)	0.0 ± 0.0	2.6 ± 3.2	0.053
Mean percentage of time with nocturnal hypoglycemia (< 70 mg/dl) (%)	1.2 ± 1.6	5.4 ± 4.4	0.031*

Values are expressed as mean ± SD. *Data were compared using Student’s t test. p < 0.05 was considered significant
