Furthermore, our R2 value suggests that the independent variables in this regression model (current age, duration of diabetes, race/ethnicity, sex, insurance status, and insulin administration type) are responsible for 18%, 14%, and 15% of the variance in our dependent variables (HbA1c, 90-day mean glucose, and 90-day time >250 mg/dL (>13.9 mmol/L)), respectively. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
