- Primary Efficacy Endpoint: Improvement in HbA1c [ Time Frame: Baseline and12 months ]Mean Change in HbA1c from Baseline to 12 Months in the mITT population with Bayesian Imputation
- Primary Safety Endpoint: Early Device Removal Due to Device-Related SAE [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]Of the 161 subjects for whom data were available at 12 Months, 19 (11.8%) subjects experienced device-related SAEs that required an early device removal.
- Assessment of Total Cholesterol Change at 12 Months Compared to Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve HbA1c Less Than or Equal to 7.0% at 12 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- LDL Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Triglycerides Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Fasting Glucose Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Systolic BP Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Diastolic BP Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
- Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve % Total Body Weight Loss Greater Than or Equal to 5% at 12 Months [ Time Frame: Baseline and 12 Months ]
