In all cases linear regression coefficient was expressed as standardized coefficients Beta and standard error of mean as SE and p value of regression

Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex

Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, fruit and vegetables intake (g/1000 Kcal per day)

Model 3 was adjusted for age, sex, fruit and vegetables intake (g/1000 Kcal per day), fiber intake (g/1000 Kcal per day)

Model 4 was adjusted for age, sex, fruit and vegetables intake (g/1000 Kcal per day), fiber intake (g/1000 Kcal per day) and duration of diabetes
