  1. Data were derived from a fixed-effects meta-analysis with inverse variance weights. Changes in HbA1c, PPG, FPG, body weight and insulin were analyzed using last observation carried forward at Week 24
  2. Abbreviations: HbA1c glycated hemoglobin, FPG fasting plasma glucose, PPG postprandial glucose, SE standard error
  3. aPPG < 10 mmol/L (< 180 mg/dL). bPPG ≥ 10 mmol/L (≥ 180 mg/dL). cP ≤ 0.001. dP = 0.008. eP = 0.024
