Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Progression/worsening to definite diabetes mellitus: Subjects are judged to have progressed to definite diabetes when FPG >= 140mg/dl and HbA1c >= 7.0% are confirmed more than one occasion by central Progression and Safety Assessment committee. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Progression to warning glycemic level: Progression to a glycemic level warning means that more aggressive intervention should be done, for subjects with FPG >= 126 and HbA1c >= 6.5% - Appearance of diabetic microangiopathy (retinopathy or nephropathy) - Appearance of macroangiopathy | — |
