Models adjusted for age (EDIC baseline), disease duration (EDIC baseline), and sex. Retinopathy models further adjusted for laser therapy in DCCT, and nephropathy further adjusted for patients with microalbuminuria at the DCCT closeout. Example interpretation: A1C odds ratio represents proportionate change per 1% unit difference in A1C. BG, blood glucose; SDBG, SD of blood glucose.
