AIRg (μU · ml−1 · min−1)‡	408 (−3 to 1,342) ± 292
DI§	834 (−2 to 2,418) ± 583
IVGTT insulin area (μU · ml−1 · min−1)¶	9,654 (2,503–36,172) ± 5,743

Data are means (range) ± SD.

^*75-g OGTT; areas are total calculated by trapezoid rule.

^†Minimal model analysis of IVGTT results.

^‡Incremental insulin area during the first 10 min after glucose injection.

^§S_i × AIRg, a measure of β-cell compensation for insulin resistance.

^¶Total area from 0 to 240 min. To convert values for glucose to mmol/l, multiply by 0.05551. To convert values for insulin to pmol/l, multiply by 6.0.
