Comparison of the efficiency between the IDet and NPH groups after 3 months of treatment (means ±SD)

Variable	IDet	NPH	T/Z	P value
HbA1c (%)	5.66±0.83	5.80±0.81	1.313	0.191
Difference of HbA1c (%)	0.77±1.53	0.68±1.08	0.331	0.740
Days of FPG and preprandial blood glucose reaching the target (day)	4.96±3.20	7.06±2.94	5.294	<0.001
Days of blood glucose reaching the target throughout all day (day）	6.94±3.99	10.82±2.63	8.883	<0.001

FPG, fasting plasma glucose; IDet, insulin detemir; NPH, neutral protamine Hagedorn.
