  • * Each column presents adjusted odds ratios from a separate logistic regression model that also included age, sex, body mass index, diabetes duration, amputation status, neuropathy symptom score, Physical Component Summary-12 quartile, Mental Component Summary-12 quartile, diabetes treatment, self-testing frequency, education, income, and race/ethnicity. Only predictors with significant findings on at least 1 element are presented.

  • Adjusted odds ratios in bold had P <.05.
