Data are presented as median (IQR) for continuous variables and n (%) as categorical variables.

*

Decreasing levels indicate insulin resistance.

Increasing levels (>100%) indicate compensatory β-cell function and insulin resistance.

Steady-state measurements during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp at high-dose insulin infusion (80 mU/m2/min).
