Comparison of lab results between the higher IR and lower IR groups (only variables considered statistically significant were listed)

Variables At the follow-up visit	Higher IR group (n = 71)	Lower IR group (n = 213)	p value

Fasting glucose	7.84 ± 1.80	5.30 ± 1.22	0.005
OGTT	10.51 ± 3.98	8.73 ± 3.43	0.002
Fasting insulin	39.36 ± 96.93	10.36 ± 9.56	0.002
Postrandial insulin	135.52 ± 148.57	68.41 ± 60.23	<0.001
Bonnet index	0.95 ± 0.84	0.67 ± 0.95	<0.001
HbA1c	6.79 ± 1.53	6.07 ± 0.78	<0.001
GFR	79.46 ± 28.19	70.38 ± 21.72	0.016
Triglycerides	2.09 ± 1.75	1.52 ± 1.01	0.002
hsCRP	8.54 ± 13.78	3.87 ± 7.45	0.005

We divided the subjects into higher IR group and lower IR group based on the cutoff value, defined as the highest quartile of HOMA-IR from 366 participants and equaled to 3.458 in our study.
