a

P-value from a paired t-test, signed rank test, or McNemar's test, as appropriate. Only includes participants who had values at both time points. P-values are adjusted for multiple comparisons to control the false discovery rate.

b

The P-values for 26 weeks versus 52 weeks for the hypoglycemia metrics were P = 0.45 for % time <70 mg/dL, P = 0.77 for % time <54 mg/dL, and P = 0.79 for rate of hypoglycemic episodes per week.

c

A CGM-measured hypoglycemic event was defined as 15 consecutive minutes with a sensor glucose value <54 mg/dL. The end of the hypoglycemic event was defined as a minimum of 15 consecutive minutes with a sensor glucose concentration >70 mg/dL.6

CGM, continuous glucose monitoring; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation.
