We next examined the maintenance phase (from 3-weeks to 2-years). Of note, the stabilization and non-stabilization groups did not differ in the maintenance therapy to which participants were randomized (Table Characteristics at completion of maintenance therapy at 2-years in (i) participants who had sustained stabilization of beta-cell function and (ii) those who did notContinuous variables presented as mean followed by standard deviation in parentheses (if normal distribution) or median followed by interquartile range (if skewed distribution). Groups were compared by Analysis of Variance (normally distributed variables) or Kruskal-Wallis test (skewed variables). All tests were two-sided, with no adjustment for multiple comparisons.
