SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 months

Population: Missing data is due to participants who did not complete the procedure at three months.

Endothelial function was measured by the EndoPAT device - difference at 3 months - baseline, by group. The outcome reported is the Reactive Hyperemic Index (RHI). The RHI is a measure of endothelial vasodilator function. The RHI is the post-to-pre occlusion peripheral arterial tone signal ratio in the occluded arm relative to the other arm, which is not occluded. Persons with worse endothelial function have a lower RHI score. Consequently, a low RHI indicates more endothelial dysfunction. A value of 1.67 or less is considered abnormal vascular tone. The reported lower and upper limits in adults with type 2 diabetes is 1.1 - 4.9.

The Epworth Sleepiness Scale measures self-reported sleep propensity or daytime sleepiness. The range of the scale is 0 to 24 (integers only), with increasing values corresponding to increasing sleepiness. A cut-point of ≥ 11 is also sometimes used to differentiate those with pathological sleepiness (≥ 11) versus those without \< 11. The difference between the three month final visit - the baseline visit score is reported by group
