The fasting C-peptide immunoreactivity levels (CPR; P = 0.57), homeostasis model assessment 2 steady state beta cell (%B) function (P = 0.29), homeostasis model assessment 2 insulin sensitivity (%S) (P = 0.42), and homeostasis model assessment 2 insulin resistance (P = 0.51) were not significantly different between the two groups (S3 Table). This evidence concerns the gene INS and Insulin resistance.
