HOMA modeling of phenotypes of T2DM. HOMA-β represents HOMA2 beta cell function; HOMA-S represents HOMA2 insulin sensitivity. Cluster 1 (high insulin resistance and high beta-cell function group [blue circles]) at the upper left is characterized by severe insulin resistance (low HOMA2-%S on x-axis) and high beta-cell function (high HOMA2-%β on y-axis). Cluster 2 (low insulin resistance and low beta-cell function group [green circles]) at the lower right is characterized by high insulin sensitivity (HOMA-S on x-axis) but severely reduced beta-cell function (low HOMA2-%β on y-axis). Cluster 3 (high insulin resistance and low beta-cell function group [red circles]) is characterized both by insulin resistance (low HOMA2-%S on x-axis) and reduced beta-cell function (low HOMA2-%β on y-axis). Reference lines represent the median values of HOMA2 beta-cell function (horizontal line) and HOMA2-S insulin sensitivity (vertical line) of the background control group.
