  1. a Mean characteristic of overestimators (SD).
  2. b Adjusted for age, sex and trial arm.
  3. c Adjusted for age, sex, trial arm and socio-economic category (occupation).
  4. d Weighted health state index, where dead = 0 and full health = 1.
  5. e Weighted impact of diabetes index, where −9 = maximum negative and +9 = maximum positive diabetes impact.
  6. f General health utility scale ranging from 1 = excellent to 5 = poor.
  7. g Diabetes treatment satisfaction scale, where 0 = very dissatisfied and 36 = very satisfied.
  8. h 5-point Likert-type agree/disagree scale, where 5 represents highest behaviour change beliefs.
