Multivariable regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, BMI, and serum creatinine. Dependent variables: fasting plasma glucose, 1-hour post-75gOGTT plasma glucose, 2-hour post-75gOGTT plasma glucose, AUC0–2h glucose of 75gOGTT, and HbA1c. Independent variables: the logarithm of UMIwake-up, UMI at wake-up time (fasting first urine); UMIpremeal, UMI at premeal (fasting second urine); and UMI2h-postprandial, UMI at 2-hour postprandial. ΔUMI was defined by 2-hour postprandial UMI minus premeal UMI.

*P values remained significant after Bonferroni’s correction.

AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; 75gOGTT, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test; UMI, urinary myoinositol.
