DEFINE showed changes in HbA1C between CETPi and placebo groups, but the results of the two groups were not individually reported. Green = significant improvement, Yellow = trending towards improvement, Red = no effect. HbA1C, haemoglobin A1C; HOMA-IR, Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; DM, baseline cohort of persons with diabetes; NDM, baseline persons without diabetes; NR, not reported.

*This data reflects the whole cohort (DM + NDM), as majority of dal-OUTCOMES cohort is NDM, it is most representative of this group.

Data collected at final study visit, precise timing not reported.
