The data represent the first adult levels (median [IQR]) of plasma glucose, serum insulin, serum C-peptide, serum proinsulin and serum glucagon at fasting, as well as during an OGTT for a subgroup. N (% female), total number of individuals (the proportion of women). For more results, see ESM Table 4
