INS and obesity disorder: Obesity was a risk factor for DKD after adjusting for sex, HbA1c, TG, TC, HDL, LDL, smoking history, education, duration of diabetes, and insulin use (obesity indices: BMI (OR 1.050: 95% CI: 1.008-1.094; P = 0.020); WHR (OR 10.97; 95% CI: 1.250-92.267; P = 0.031); VFA (OR 1.005; 95% CI: 1.001-1.008; P = 0.008)), but it became insignificant after further adjusting for fasting C-peptide.
