EA's intervention effect on HOMA-IR and HOMA-B ($\stackrel{-}{X}\pm s$).

Note: △ for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus normal control group, and △△ for P < 0.01. ∗ for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus T2DM model group, and ∗∗ for P < 0.01. ☆ for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus EA weiwanxiashu (EX-B3) group, and ☆☆ for P < 0.01. HOMA-IR = FBG × fasting blood insulin/22.5. HOMA-B = fasting blood insulin × 20/(FBG − 3.5).
