  • Reduced Hemoglobin A1c

  • High evidence

  posterior probabilities of effectiveness in reducing glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) will be evaluated after enrollment of 20, 40, and 60 participants... The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving any reduction in HbA1c at 6 months compared with baseline.
