AUC High
Difference in area under the curve \>10.0 mmol/l assessed by continuous glucose monitoring
Time frame: 12 weeks - from baseline to end of study
Population: CGM data were collected, but the calculation of AUC high was not conducted. The analysis plan was changed as a result of changes in the guidelines for reporting of CGM-based measures. To calculate AUC high would require extensive work, and the results would be of no clinical relevance. Funding aquired for this project covers only clinically relevant analysis and ultimately, AUC high was not calculated due to lack of funding.
AUC Low

Population: CGM data were collected, but the calculation of AUC low was not conducted. The analysis plan was changed as a result of changes in the guidelines for reporting of CGM-based measures. To calculate AUC low would require extensive work, and the results would be of no clinical relevance. Funding aquired for this project covers only clinically relevant analysis and ultimately, AUC low was not calculated due to lack of funding.
