*P values after correction for multiple comparisons with the Bonferroni-Holm method.

†Adjusted for age, sex, BMI, insulin treatment at baseline, dyslipidemia, duration of diabetes, HbA1c at baseline, and %TWL at 2-year follow-up, with multiple imputation for missing values.

BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c; %TWL, percentage of total weight loss.
