aThe following were included in both analyses: HRV parameters (LF, HF, LF/HF, SDNN, SDANN, SDNN index, and RMSSD), age, gender, BMI, diabetes duration, drinking status, smoking status, presence of hypertension and diabetic retinopathy, incidence of hypoglycemia, HbA1C, insulin, RASS inhibitor, diuretic, and beta-blocker; b mL/min/1.73 m2; c mg/g Cr. CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio. eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR: urinary albumin : creatinine ratio; SDANN: standard deviation of the averaged normal RR intervals for all 5-minute segments; BMI: body mass index.
