HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin; BMI: Body mass index; WC: Waist circumference; FPG: Fasting plasma glucose; CSII: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion; MDI: Multiple daily injection; TBa%: Ratio of total basal insulin dose to total daily insulin dose; TDD: Total daily insulin dose; TDD/kg: Total daily insulin dose per kilogram.
