Abstract

The authors regret that in the above article there were some errors in Table 1 and in corresponding text on baseline characteristics. These errors include the following: 1. Numbers for the Standard Care and GLI groups were inverted for medications variables.2. Selected means and percents were incorrectly rounded for Weight (Standard Care), Total cholesterol (Total, Standard Care), Antilipidemic medications (Total, Standard Care) and Antihypertensive medications (Total, GLI).3. We underreported rates of medication use among the study sample for Antiglycemic medications, Insulin, Other (i.e., non-insulin) antiglycemic medications, Antilipidemic medications and Antihypertensive medications.The Corrected Table 1 should read as presented below, with corrected data in bold. In the Results (page 119), Section 3.2 (Baseline characteristics of the randomized cohort), second paragraph, the description of total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels should read: Mean total cholesterol was 171.7 mg/dL (SD 44.9), while mean HDL-C was 44.1 mg/dL (SD 13.1). Mean total cholesterol was 172.0 mg/dL (SD 44.9), while mean HDL-C was 44.1 mg/dL (SD 13.1). In the following paragraph, it should read: More than three-fourths were prescribed antiglycemic medications (87.9%) or antihypertensive medications (76.1%), while more than half were prescribed antilipidemic medications (58.3%). Participants randomized to GLI encouragement were more likely than the Standard Care group to be on antiglycemic medications, both overall (92.7% versus 83.2%, P = 0.008) and for non-insulin antiglycemics (86.0% versus 73.1%, P = 0.004).
