Data are presented as median (IQR). P values for each visit are from Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

Abbreviations: CPI, C-peptide index; DIins, disposition index using insulin-based indices; HOMA2%Bcpep, Homeostasis Model Assessment of β-cell function using C-peptide values; HOMA2%Bins, Homeostasis Model Assessment of β-cell function using insulin values; HOMA2%Scpep, Homeostasis Model Assessment of steady-state insulin sensitivity derived from C-peptide values; HOMA2%Sins, Homeostasis Model Assessment of β-cell function derived from insulin values; IGI, insulinogenic index; IQR, interquartile range.

a Average percent difference compared with baseline is based on linear mixed-model for repeated measures data.

b Unadjusted between group difference in least square means using all available visits.
