SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: through 48 weeks

All episodes of hypoglycemia will be recorded by participants on provided standard log forms, noting the date, time, duration, symptoms, treatment received, and concurrent blood glucose. Participants will additionally be asked if they received medical attention for hypoglycemia, and the details if so, since the last assessment. Only one episode will be counted per 24 hours. Serious episodes, defined as \<50 mg/dL or 50-69 mg/dL and requiring assistance, will supersede minor episodes in this case.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 weeks

Antiglycemic medications, dosages, and schedules will be assessed carefully with the participant and updated at each visit. A Medication Effect Score (MES), based on the potencies and dosages of the medications in a patient's regimen, was devised to reflect the overall intensity of antiglycemic medication. The MES is calculated as the percentage taken of the maximum dose multiplied by the expected hemoglobin A1c lowering effect for each of a participant's medications, which are then summed. Its range is 0 to infinite, with higher scores meaning higher diabetes medication requirement.
