*

Male sex, non-European origin, not living alone, primary education, and not working/studying.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose, insulin pen use, and nonsmoker.

No history of DKA, no retinopathy or nontreated retinopathy, normal foot sensitivity, normal kidney function (eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio <3 mg/mmol), and no coronary heart disease.

§

Reduced kidney function defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥3 mg/mmol.
