Data are mean ± SD and range [minimum, maximum] or n (%). One participant was removed from further psychosocial outcomes analysis due to a medical condition that removed them from the study. Age was determined at the date of informed consent. §Body-mass index is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. Race and ethnicity were reported by the participants and were not mutually exclusive. ††Participant eligibility for the study was determined using a point-of-care HbA1c measurement performed at screening, which in some cases differed from the laboratory assessment displayed here and used for analysis. ‡‡Previous use is defined as having used the device for any duration in the past.
