Percentage of children reaching certain glucose thresholds at any time during the 48-hour continues glucose monitoring period; Data presented as median (minimum–maximum). HOMA-IR = Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance; Insulin resistance = HOMA-IR ≥2.5.

aDay = 07:00 am–10:00 pm. Night = 10:00 pm–07:00 am.

b% of the time was calculated for the group of children who reached the certain glucose threshold.

c% of the time was calculated for the complete group of children.

dSignificant difference between the median time in minutes between the two HOMA-IR groups at the 0.05 level.

eSignificant difference between the median time in minutes between the two HOMA-IR groups at the 0.01 level.
