Indicated that the data were not normally distributed, and these data were expressed as interquartile range (25th and 75th percentiles). EOD, early-onset diabetes; LOD, late-onset diabetes; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; BMI, body mass index; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin A1c; CPR, C-peptide; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
