  1. Results are mean ± (SD) unless otherwise indicated.
  2. IOP, intraocular pressure
  3. IOP, 0 is the measurement just before the glucose clamp began.
  4. IOP, +90 is the IOP at ninety minutes into the clamp
  5. IOP, +240 is the IOP at the end of the clamp procedure.
  6. *comparing type 1 diabetes with controls by ANOVA
