The average A1c immediately pre-Loop was 7.2 - three months later it was 6.7. Quality of Life measures (Diabetes Distress, Fear of Hypoglycemia and Insomnia index) were favorable pre Loop and 3 months later even more favorable.  We saw 3 episodes of severe hypoglycemia.  These results compare favorably with all published retail APS literature.
