Relationship between baseline C-peptide levels and follow-up measurements of glucose control
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Severe hypoglycemia† | 0.68 (0.60, 0.77)* | 0.70 (0.61, 0.80)* | 0.77 (0.66, 0.88)* |
| Mean Glucose CV (1 SD)‡ | − 0.12 (− 0.14, − 0.10)* | − 0.10 (− 0.12, − 0.08)* | − 0.07 (− 0.10, − 0.05)* |
| Mean Glucose ARV (1 SD)‡ | − 0.12 (− 0.15, − 0.10)* | − 0.10 (− 0.13, − 0.08)* | − 0.08 (− 0.10, − 0.05)* |
Outcomes were any occurrence of severe hypoglycemia, mean updated glucose coefficient of variation (CV) or average real variability (ARV). Model 1, adjusted for glucose-lowering group; Model 2, additionally adjusted for baseline age, race/ethnicity, diabetes duration, HbA1c, body mass index and eGFR; Model 3, additionally adjusted for insulin and sulphonylureas use. Data are Odds ratios (OR) or standardized β-estimates (95% CI) per 1 SD of C-peptide levels
