*IRR quantitates the risk of hypoglycemia in the HRI group compared with the RAI group. IRR <1.0 favors the HRI group and an IRR >1.0 favors the RAI group. Between-group difference results from Poisson regression model with repeated measures; generalized estimating equations approach. Level 1 (≤70 mg/dL or (<3.9 mmol/L)) and level 2 hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL (<3.0 mmol/L)). No level 3 events were reported for either group.
HRI, human regular insulin; IRR, incident rate ratio; ITT, intent-to-treat; RAI, rapid acting insulin.
