Data are expressed as mean ± SD. BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c. Physical activity was based on a 7-day activity recall record of moderate-to-vigorous activity levels. No difference was found between sexes in either the control group (P = 0.459) or T1D group (P = 0.430) using an unpaired, two-tail Student’s t test.
P < 0.01,
P < 0.001 vs control women; unpaired, two-tail Student’s t test;
P < 0.05,
P < 0.01 vs T1D women; unpaired, two-tail Student’s t test.
