Change From Baseline in Treatment Related Impact Measures-Diabetes (TRIM-D) Total Score
The TRIM-D is a 28 item treatment satisfaction measure with 5 domains assessing Treatment Burden, Daily Life, Diabetes Management, Compliance and Psychological Health. The raw score ranges for each subscale were: treatment burden (6 to 30), daily life (5 to 25), diabetes management (5 to 25), compliance (4 to 20) and psychological health (8 to 40), higher scores indicating better health state. Total raw score was determined by summing the raw scores for each of the subscales and the total score (transformed) was determined as \[(raw score minus lowest possible raw score)/possible raw score range\] x100. The possible total (transformed) score range is 0-100, where higher scores indicated better health state. Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value.
Time frame: Baseline and Months 8 and 16
Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with value at Baseline and at the specified visit is presented (represented by n=X in category titles)

Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Calculated Using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Formula
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum creatinine. Serum creatinine values were used to calculate eGFR using the MDRD formula, eGFR=175 x (serum creatinine)\^-1.154 x (Age)\^-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.212 if African American). Baseline is the last non-missing value assessed on or before treatment start date. Change from Baseline is the value at specified time point minus the Baseline value. Change from Baseline in eGFR using Baseline data from Local or Central Laboratory, and post-Baseline Central Laboratory data for the on-treatment time period is presented.
