Note. Outcomes rated by the expert panel as being reasonably important with a mean rating greater than or equal to 6.5 and less than or equal to 7.1, and a median rating less than or equal to 8 were designated as being optional for measurement and reporting by BWMIs.

Abbreviation: HbA1c, haemoglobin A1c.

^aMean scores less than 6.5 for the first visit/baseline time point but corresponding follow‐up time point scores meet rating criteria for the optional list.
