The beat-to-beat outcome values were averaged over 5 minutes for baseline, story, mental arithmetic, and immediate post-stressor periods for analysis; β and P values were derived using linear mixed-model analysis, with offspring outcomes as the continuous variable and parental diabetes status as “yes/no” categories. β represents unit change in the outcome variable in the OGDM/ODF from baseline in excess of that in controls. Model 1 was adjusted for children's age and sex; model 2 represents model 1 + socioeconomic status and children's current weight.
