The opposite was observed for mean and between-group difference of mean insulin, which resulted in stronger positive associations between insulin resistance and BGM [coefficients 0.02 (95% CI 0.01 to 0.04), k = 11, P = .010, R2 = 60%; Fig. 3C and 0.21 (95% CI −1.19 to 0.62), k = 5, P = .193, R2 = 35%; Fig. 3D, respectively]. Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
