  1. Values are mean ± SD (%). Group 1: ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, Group 2: < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. p values for Group 1 vs. Group 2
  2. Time in hyperglycemia was defined as the time when blood glucose levels were equal to or greater than 200 mg/dl. Time in hypoglycemia was defined as the time when blood glucose levels were under 70 mg/dl. MAGE, mean amplitude of glycemic excursion
