DIABETES
To align with sports nutrition guidelines which recommend intakes of 1.2–2.0 g/kg/day of dietary protein to support exercise training, observations were categorized by daily protein intake into those with <1.2 g/kg/day of protein and those with ≥1.2 g/kg/day of protein utilizing a binomial variable. The relationship between protein intake category and CGM metrics of TIR, TBR, and TAR were assessed, with observations classified as <1.2 g/kg chosen as the reference group. The final analytic model adjusted for the intervention group, study site, age, sex, race/ethnicity, diabetes duration, insulin regimen, estimated body fat percentage, bout volume (MET-minutes), other daily MVPA (MET-mins), daily carbohydrate intake, and hours until midnight.
