All results based on a generalized linear mix model for reaching NGR status or not in yearly DPPOS visits.

Predictors for regression to normal glucose regulation during DPPOS include:
  • Glycemic status and treatment group during DPP
  • Demographic and concurrent weight and metabolic information during DPPOS

For categorical predictors, the ORs correspond to the comparison over the reference group; for continuous predictors, the ORs refer to per unit SD in the predictor. For BMI at the beginning of DPPOS, % weight change during DPP,1/[fasting insulin] and CIR, the standard deviation between subjects in DPPOS are 6.83 kg/m2, 7.65%, 35 pmol/l and 0.41 l/pmol respectively.

ILS = intensive lifestyle intervention

MET = metformin

PLB = placebo

NGR = normal glucose regulation

Insulin sensitivity estimated by 1/[fasting insulin]

β-cell function assessed using the Corrected Insulin Response (CIR)
