Within-time points contrasts in variables for the baseline, 3-month follow-up, and 6-month follow-up in coronavirus disease 2019 patients without diabetes. Box plots convey the level, spread, and symmetry of the distribution of data values. Sphericity-assumed modeling or Greenhouse-Geisser adjustments (sphericity not assumed) were applied to test within-time points effects. Logarithmic transformation was used for some variables due to the high discrete degree (log₁₀). ALP = alkaline phosphatase; ALT = alanine aminotransferase; CK = creatine kinase; CRP = C-reactive protein; FBG = fasting blood glucose; FPI = fasting plasma insulin; Hb = hemoglobin; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-CP = homeostasis model assessment for beta-cell function; HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglycerides; TyG = triglyceride-glucose.
