Linear regression analyses for the association between HbA1c and joint pain severity in people with T2D and localized OA

Dependent Variable		No.	B	SE	95% CI	P Value
Pain severity	Model 1	87	0.25	0.15	–0.044 to 0.55	0.095
	Model 2	87	0.23	0.14	–0.055 to 0.52	0.11
	Model 3	87	0.36	0.16	0.036 to 0.67	0.029

Model 1 was unadjusted. Model 2 was adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and OA locations. Model 3 was adjusted for age, gender, BMI, OA locations, and taking medications within 90 days of the index date (pain meds, antihypertensive, antilipemic, insulin, and hypoglycemic).

BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; OA = osteoarthritis; T2D = type 2 diabetes.
