aHeteroscedasticity describes differences in variances between groups. bParticipants with baseline monocyte chemoattractant protein greater than the lowest tertile (40 pmol/L, see results). cParticipants with baseline body mass index greater than the median (31 kg/m2, see results). dAbbreviations: Δ: change in; HOMA2 %B: homeostatic model assessment of pancreatic beta cell function; HOMA2 IR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; nHbA1c: HbA1c normalized to 84 day average hemoglobin mass; MCP-1: monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
