Data are presented as unstandardised regression coefficient (B) with 95% confidence interval (CI)

In the GEE models, B indicates the strength of the association and how much of the dependent variable is explained by the independent variable

Model 1 was adjusted for age, gender, sleeping time, walking time, carbohydrate intake and sedentary time

Model 2 was adjusted for variables in Model 1 and body mass index and duration of diabetes
