Prediabetes defined as 1) fasting serum glucose between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL; or 2) HbA1c ≥ 5.7 % and < 6.5 %
Type 2 diabetes defined as 1) fasting serum glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL; 2) HbA1C ≥ 6.5%; or 3) existing clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
p-values are calculated based on F-test for continuous variables, and a X2 test for categorical variables.
