Comparison between cohort 1 and cohort 2 for patients with type 2 and type 1 diabetes with respect to clinical characteristics, controlled levels of blood glucose, BP, and lipid, and treatments for diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Cohorts 1 and 2 were recruited in 2004 and 2014, respectively, with the same inclusion criteria without any overlapping patients between the cohorts
