EA’s intervention effect on HOMA-IR and HOMA-B ().

Group		Fasting insulin (mmol/L)	HOMA-IR	HOMA-B
Normal control group	12	18.24 ± 0.65	4.22 ± 0.14	236.41 ± 28.96
T2DM model group	9	17.48 ± 0.81	21.32 ± 1.62	15.08 ± 1.18
EA weiwanxiashu (EX-B3) group	10	16.01 ± 0.80	13.51 ± 2.20	72.65 ± 48.07
Sham EA group	9	15.94 ± 1.00	17.46 ± 0.63	15.39 ± 1.68

Note: for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus normal control group, and for P < 0.01. for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus T2DM model group, and for P < 0.01. for 0.01 < P < 0.05, versus EA weiwanxiashu (EX-B3) group, and for P < 0.01. HOMA-IR = FBG fasting blood insulin/22.5. HOMA-B = fasting blood insulin 20/(FBG − 3.5).
