1. Demographic characteristics were shown as mean ± S.D.

2. Patients with macro-/micro-vascular complications were defined as ‘yes’’ when at least one of the three-listed complications present.

3. #One T1D patient was classified neither to T1D-group-A nor T1D-group-B. Thus, it is skipped during the detailed comparison between patient subgroups.

4. *Missing values exist for the corresponding variables.

5. BMI, body mass index; hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; compl., complications.
