  1. T2D-free LE refers to age 40
  2. Scenarios assumed different annual trends in incidence rate (\(i\)) and mortality rate ratio (\({\mathrm{MRR}}\)) associated with diabetes: Base case: \(i\) constant, \({\mathrm{MRR}}\) − 2%; A: \(i\) constant, \({\mathrm{MRR}}\) constant; B: \(i\) −  0.5%, \({\mathrm{MRR}}\) − 2%; C: \(i\) + 0.5%, \({\mathrm{MRR}}\) − 2%
