INS and Insulin resistance: Moreover, fasting blood glucose (5.3 vs. 5.9 mmol/L; p < 0.0001) and insulin (7.0 vs. 9.0 mU/L; p = 0.03) concentration as well as insulin resistance (0.9 vs. 1.2 HOMA2 IR; p = 0.005) and prevalence of diabetes (0.0% vs. 8.0%; p = 0.0004) were significantly lower, whereas insulin sensitivity (195.7 vs. 143.3 HOMA2%S; p = 0.0005) was significantly higher among women than men.
