Urine for analysis of glucose was collected at prespecified intervals. Each participant emptied his/her bladder just before dosing, and the collection started after the morning dose (collection times: 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-12 hours, and 12-24 hours after the morning dose). The average amount of urinary glucose excreted from 0 to 24 hours after the morning dose is presented in the table below.

Each participant emptied his/her bladder just before dosing, and the collection started after the morning dose (collection times: 0-4 hours, 4-8 hours, 8-12 hours, and 12-24 hours after the morning dose). The average amount of urinary glucose excreted during the pre-specified time frame is presented in the table below.
24-hour Weighted Mean Plasma Glucose
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours
Blood was collected during each treatment period at pre-dose (fasted) on Day 1 (Hour 0) and post-dose (fed) on Day 1 at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 12.5, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 24 hours.

The weighted mean postprandial glucose over the specified intervals were analyzed by cohort.
Fasting Plasma Glucose
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours
Blood samples were to be collected following a fast from all food and drink (except water) for at least 8 hours. Fasting Plasma Glucose was collected as part of the assessment of weighted mean 24-hour plasma glucose. As such, it was not specified as an endpoint in the Statistical Analysis Plan and was not analyzed or summarized separately.
