Values were odds ratios (95% CIs). Significant results (P<0.05) were highlighted in bold, but p value for total protein in the fully adjusted model (Model 3) was 0.0503.

Model 1. Unadjusted.

Model 2. Adjusted for continuous glucose monitor wear time, total energy intake per day, and average number of meals per day.

Model 3. Model 2 + diabetes duration, HbA1c, daily electronic media time in hours, and TV time in hours.

Model 4. Model 3 + insulin delivery method (pump versus multiple daily injection).

Model 5. Model 4 + insulin dose per kilogram.
