Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The difference in time in range (70-180 mg/dL, %) measured by CGM at V3 visit between Group A and Group B

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The differences between Group A and Group B in other CGM metrics (time in tight range 70-140 mg/dL, time above range >180 mg/dL, time above range >250 mg/dL, time below range <70 mg/dL, time below range <55 mg/dL, %CV, SD), HbA1c, fructosamine, glycoalbumin, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL), free fatty acids, weight, BMI, body composition, gut microbiome, MES, circadian rhythm markers (amplitude, acrophase, mesor, goodness of fit, heart rate), diabetes self-management indicators, sleep quality index, and social jetlag.;In Group A, the changes from baseline in CGM metrics, HbA1c, fructosamine, glycoalbumin, lipid profile, free fatty acids, weight, BMI, body composition, gut microbiome, MES, circadian rhythm markers, diabetes self-management indicators, sleep quality index, and social jetlag at the end of study ;The difference in the incidence of hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) and severe hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL), as well as allergic reactions, between Group A and Group B during study.
