  1. aComparison among different treatment regimens, ie, OAD only, OAD + insulin, OAD + GLP-1 RA.
  2. P values were calculated using chi-square analysis and ANOVA as appropriate.
  3. BMI, body mass index; GLP-1 RA, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; OAD, oral antidiabetes drug; SD, standard deviation; SMBG, self-monitored blood glucose.
