After controlling for covariates, patients in quartile 4 of protein intake had 261% increased risk of poor glycemic control compared with those in quartile 1 (95% CI: 1.29-5.30). The association was not attenuated after further control for insulin use (OR = 1.94; 95% CI: 0.89-4.24). In conclusion, higher protein intake seems related to a worse glycemic control in diabetic subjects.
