  1. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), unless otherwise stated.
  2. BMI body mass index; FPG fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin A1c; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance.
  3. Information on the use of statins and diabetes complications was not collected in one of the study (NA).
  4. Low dose: 0.03 mg/kg i.v. once; intermediate dose: 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg i.v. once, 5 and 15 mg s.c. monthly; medium dose: 1.5 mg/kg i.v. once, 50 mg s.c. monthly and 150 mg s.c. once; high dose: 10 mg/kg i.v. once and 150 mg s.c. monthly.
  5. Duration of exposure (months) = (date of last dose–date of first dose + 91.2)/30.4.
  6. Duration of follow-up (months) = (date of last follow-up visit–first dose date + 1)/30.4.
  7. Subject months of exposure = sum of the duration of exposure (in months) over all subjects.
  8. Subject months of follow-up = sum of the duration of follow-up (in months) over all subjects.
