Data are means ±SD unless otherwise indicated.

*The duration of type 1 diabetes in control and proteinuric subjects is based on the duration at examination. Among ESRD case subjects, this is based on the duration of type 1 diabetes at the onset of ESRD. All other clinical characteristics are based on measurements performed at examination.

†Mean A1C values do not include data from case subjects that have undergone pancreas transplantation (32%).

‡Percentages are of ESRD group.
