Analysis of the behavioral results revealed a significant main effect of task length, F 1, 46) = 7.49, p <.01, such that individuals performed better on the longer blocks (75 trials) when more time was available to learn than in the shorter blocks (25 trials).
The rate of hypoglycemic events was significantly more in all of these trials when diabetes management was intensified, irrespective of the use of insulin therapy.
Although we do not advocate testing for differences in baseline variables, our results showed that more trials adjusted for baseline variables when significant differences had been noted between the compared arms in these variables; however, there were many exceptions to this pattern.
