Cross-sectional mean cartilage T2 values in diabetics and non-diabetics at baseline and 24-months. Data are given as adjusted means (ms), corrected for race, age, sex, baseline BMI and baseline KL score. Error bars indicate standard errors. P-values in bold refer to significance of differences between diabetics vs non-diabetics at baseline and 24-months, respectively: global knee (p=0.669, baseline; p=0.009, 24-months), patella (p=0.003, baseline; p=0.012, 24-months), lateral tibia (p=0.314, baseline; p=0.006, 24-months). Global = global T2 values/mean of all compartments, PAT = patella, LT = lateral tibia.
