Mean glucose level	mg/dl	91.8 ± 7.3	91.1 ± 2.2	94.8 ± 7.5	87.1 ± 8.0	0.174
MAGE	mg/dl	52.8 ± 20.5	42.2 ± 5.6	57.4 ± 23.7	53.0 ± 21.8	0.496
The frequency of hypoglycemia occurrence for the five-day (glucose < 60 mg/dl)	occurrences/5 days	3(0,12)	0(0,0)	3(1,12)	5(3,29)	0.016	①vs③P = 0.013
The proportions of patients with hypoglycemia	number (%)	12(67%)	0(0%)	7(78%)	5(100%)	0.005 *
The frequency of hyperglycemia occurrence for the five-day (glucose > = 180 mg/dl)	occurrences/5 days	0(0,3)	1(0,2)	0(0,1)	1(0,5)	0.641

Presented by mean ± SD or median (Q1,Q3) depending on the normality based on the Shapiro–Wilk test
P value was based on either One-way ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis test or Fisher's exact test* depending on the normality based on the Shapiro–Wilk test
The multiple comparisons shown in the table are based on the Bonferroni test
