Biweekly data for the long-term (8 weeks) type 1 diabetic and WT groups (N = 16). Ins2WT/C96Y mice are labeled Ins2. Two-factor ANOVA was run to determine the main effects of diabetes, time, and interaction; P values for diabetes main effect and interaction are listed next to the respective data. Absence of a significant main effect or interaction is indicated as NS.

DME, diabetes main effect; Int, interaction with time.

*Significant difference at that time point by Bonferroni post hoc comparison.
