  • Results are presented for the sites with ≥70% response rate separately and for all five sites.

  • For categorical variables, n (%) / 95% CI for proportion is presented. Confidence intervals are computed using normal approximation.

  • Mean (SD) / median (min; max) / n = is presented for continuous variables.

  • SMBG, self-monitoring of blood glucose.
