Data are reported as median (interquartile range) for continuous measures and (%) for categorical measure. BMI = body mass index; Cacciari = Italian reference data; CSII: continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion; HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; IQR = interquartile range; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; SDS = standard deviation score.
