We used the UKPDS-OM risk equations to project gradual convergence trajectories of the postintervention levels of all risk factors for diabetes complications (i.e., HbA1c, SBP, and lipid ratio [TC divided by HDLc]) as the treatment effect wears off over the simulation time horizon.

We assumed that the postintervention levels of all risk factors for diabetes complications (i.e., HbA1c, SBP, and lipid ratio [TC divided by HDLc]) did not change over the simulation time horizon.
