Apologies for the third comment but I cannot delete or edit the other one.

Piecing together information it would appear that
LCK group 1 prediabetic + 3 diabetics no meds + 5 metformin only + 7 metformin & oral meds = 15 (1 dropped also metformin + oral meds*)
MCCR group 3 prediabetic no meds + 2 diabetics no meds + 8 metformin + 5 metformin & oral meds = 18

* the drop from LCK also taking exenatide at baseline which is injected.
