  1. Comparison of glycemic control, adverse events and quality of life scores between the control and intervention groups. No significant differences were detected between the groups at baseline, 3 months or 6 months. Dashed line indicates data was not collected at that time point. Control (TID) N = 10. Intervention (BID) N = 8. Difference is for intervention minus control. Table shows Mean (Standard Deviation).
