Data are median (IQR) or number (%), unless otherwise specified. P-values comparing patients with or without DPN were obtained by the independent-samples t-test or Fisher’s exact test. BMI: Body mass index; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; IQR: interquartile range; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NA: not applicable; SBP: systolic blood pressure.
