H = group with healthy subjects; DM = group with type 2 diabetes without neuropathy; BMI = body mass index; CRP = C-reactive protein; HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; HR = heart rate at rest in supine position; SAP = systolic arterial pressure at rest in supine position; DAP = diastolic arterial pressure at rest in supine position. The data are presented in mean ± standard deviation or medians and first-to-third quartile range in parentheses.
The symbol * indicates a p < 0.05 (H vs DM).
