Data expressed as mean ± SD (and range, for plasma NAMPT levels). Statistics for quantitative parameters are ANOVA or ANCOVA with log-transformed data. Tukey Kramer HSD test following ANOVA/ANCOVA: significantly different (p < 0.05) from T1 (a) or T2 (b). Comparison adjusted for age and sex (c). eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, UAE urinary albumin excretion rate, ACEi angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB angiotensin receptor blocker, BB beta-blocker MTF metformin, SU sulfonylurea, INS insulin.
