highly significantp < 0.0001
In a multilevel model describing HbA1c as dependent variable, the predictor time was highly significant at all time points (p < 0.0001), using time as categorical variable (drop of HbA1c at: Visit 4 = -2.3308, Visit 3 = -2.3583, Visit 2 = -2.0816, Visit 1 = -1.2916) or as continuous variable (drop of HbA1c per time unit = -0.5964).
