  1. Estimates of the two multilevel models are presented as log-odds. The inverse logit function (e.g., R function plogis) was used to convert the log-odds to proportion of correct responses (WM performance) for data interpretation.
  2. CV coefficient of variation, CI confidence interval, HOMA-IR homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, LL lower limit, SE standard error, SG sensor glucose, UL upper limit. Sex (0 = male, 1 = female).
  3. N = 103.
  4. aMean SG was log-transformed to correct right-skewed data.
  5. bSelf-reported item.
  6. cHOMA-IR was log transformed to correct right-skewed data.
  7. dGlucose variability is measured by the coefficient of variation (CV) which was log-transformed to correct right-skewed data.
