1: includes all visits before the enrolment for PTEC-HAT Pilot excluding the enrolment visit
2: P-value computed using paired t-test
3: Missingness is due to unavailability of electronic medical record data (and not due to patients not completing home HbA1c testing) for the post-intervention period. For the purpose of generation of summary statistics, the sample was limited to the data available at both pre- and post-intervention period
