aAt 6 months, the intervention group lost 2.64 kg more and had a BMI difference of 0.99 kg/m2 compared with the control group (both P<.001) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) maximum likelihood estimates missing data analyses. At 12 months, in the ITT analyses, the intervention group lost 1.8 kg more than the control group (P=.01) and had a BMI difference of 0.58 kg/m2 (P=.01). In the ITT analyses, HbA1c was not different between groups at 6 or 12 months, with a difference of 0.004% (P=.94) and 0.006% (P=.93), respectively.

b≤0.2=small effect; >0.2 to <0.8=medium effect; ≥0.8=large effect.

cP values were obtained from t tests using a .05 significance level.
