Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in fasting residual β cell (C-peptide) function.

    Measured as the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) for mixed-meal tolerance test-stimulated C-peptide concentration over 4 hours relative to baseline (AUC 0-4 h, C-peptide, 12 months/ AUC 0-4 h, C-peptide, baseline)

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change in fasting residual β cell (C-peptide) function.

    6 months.

  • Change in HbA1c

    12 months.

  • Change in insulin requirements.

    12 months.

  • Time-In-Range of blood glucose.

    12 months.

  • Variation of blood glucose.

    12 months.

Other Outcomes (18)

  • Proportion of participants with stimulated C-peptide >0.2 pmol/mL

    12 months

  • HbA1c time in range

    12 months.

  • Insulin Dose Adjusted A1c

    12 months

  • +15 more other outcomes
