Robust t-statistics in brackets.

^*Significant at 10%

^**significant at 5%

^***significant at 1%.

^†The regression coefficients that are not presented for “less observable characteristics” include education, income, insurance coverage, cognitive ability, and cognitive ability squared.

Regressions also include controls for type of diabetes, time with diabetes, dummies for the clinic and physician providing care, and a constant term.
