Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Week 26 [Noninferiority Analysis]

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 26

    HbA1c is the glycosylated fraction of hemoglobin A. It is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time.

    Least Squares (LS) mean was determined using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment + country + CGM use prior to study entry [yes/no]+ carbohydrate counting for prandial insulin[yes/no] + baseline value of the dependent variable (Type III sum of squares) as variables. Missing data at Week 26 were imputed by return-to-baseline multiple imputations approach.

  17. Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction as Measured by the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, Change Version (DTSQc) at Week 26

    Time frame: Week 26

    The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire change (DTSQc) score is used to assess relative change in participant satisfaction from baseline. The questionnaire consists of 8 items, 6 of which measure Treatment Satisfaction, dealing with: 1. satisfaction with current treatment; 2. convenience of the treatment; 3. flexibility; 4. satisfaction with own understanding of participant's diabetes; 5. how likely to recommend their present treatment; and 6. how satisfied to continue with their present treatment. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale (which ranges from -3 (much less satisfied) to +3 (much more satisfied). The scores from the 6 treatment satisfaction items are summed to a Total Treatment Satisfaction Score, which ranges from -18 (much less satisfied) to +18 (much more satisfied). Higher the score the greater the improvement in satisfaction with treatment. The lower the score the greater the deterioration in satisfaction with treatment.

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 26, and Week 52

    The SF-36v2 is a participant-reported measure designed to assess health status using 36 items across 8 domains: Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health. The 8 health domains are aggregated into two summary scores known as the physical component summary (PCS) score and the mental component summary (MCS) score. Scoring of each domain and both summary scores are norm based and presented in the form of T-scores, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Higher scores indicate better levels of function and/or better health. Range cannot be specified in norm-based scores.

    LS Mean was determined by MMRM model with Baseline + Country + Carbohydrate counting for Prandial Dose + Prior CGM use + Hemoglobin A1c Stratum at Baseline + Treatment + Time + Treatment*Time (Type III sum of squares). as variables. Unstructured variance-covariance structure was used.
