Presented are demographics, key diabetes relates variables and all predictors included in the final model, the other variables are included in Table 1.

Data are presented as number (%) or mean (±SD).

p values were calculated using chi-square or student t-test.

Definitions: Diabetic foot = gangrene, lower limb ulcer, and/or lower extremity amputation; Acute metabolic events = severe hyper- and/or hypoglycemic events; Microvascular disease = diabetic retinal disease and/or end-stage-renal disease; Cardiovascular disease = peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, and/or congestive heart failure; Cerebrovascular disease = cerebrovascular attacks, precerebral arterial disease, and/or carotid endarterectomy.
