Data presented as mean ± SD, or mean (min, max). P-value calculated from Mann–Whitney test when comparing control subjects and patients with T1D (++P ≤0.01, +++P ≤0.001 and ++++P ≤0.0001), and remitter and non-remitter groups [xP ≤0.05, xxP ≤0.01 and xxxP ≤0.001 for comparison with PR; ^P ≤0.05, ^^P ≤0.01 and ^^^P ≤0.001 for comparison with 8 months after baseline (non-remitters); and °°P ≤0.01 for comparison with 12 months after baseline (remitters)]. P-value calculated from Wilcoxon test for comparisons of paired data with disease onset (*P ≤0.05 and **P ≤0.01). BMI, Body Mass Index; F, female; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; IDAA1c, insulin dose-adjusted HbA1c; M, male; NA, not applicable; ND, not determined; SDS, standard deviation score.
