Fasting and 2-hour postload glucose trajectories (panels A and B) before the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or the end of follow-up in 505 incident diabetes cases compared to 6033 non-diabetic controls.
Multilevel longitudinal modeling using either linear growth model for non-diabetic and piecewise approach including cubic terms for time for incident diabetic subjects with OGTT fasting glucose (A) and 2-hour glucose (B) as outcomes. Adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity and study phase. Estimated for a hypothetical population of 72% male, 91% Caucasian aged 63 years at time 0 yrs. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals for the fixed effects.
Tables show the number of measurements for each year at and before diabetes diagnosis / end of follow-up.
