AUC, area under curve; BMI, body mass index; CPR, C‐peptide reactivity; DPP, dipeptidyl peptidase; FFA, free fatty acid; GIP, glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; GLP‐1, glucagon like polypeptide‐1; HOMA, homeostatic model assessment; IR, insulin resistance; SUIT, secretory unit of islet in transplantation. P values were calculated by linear regression analysis; r, correlation coefficient. All, both anti‐diabetic drug‐naïve patients and sulfonylureas‐treated patients; No drug, anti‐diabetic drug‐naïve patients; and SU, sulfonylureas‐treated patients.
