Linear regression analyses for coping profiles and coping dimension were separately performed including confounding factors such as sex, age, BMI, presence/absence of smoking, habitual alcohol consumption, living alone, and exercise habits, HbA1c, and insulin use/no use
Italic show statistically significant
p < 0.003 was regarded as significant using Bonferroni’s correction due to multiple testing in simple correlations
