Impaired 𝜷 Cell Function in Chinese Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Hyperlipidemia

Figure 2

HOMA-β levels of subjects of different types of hyperlipidemia in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM). HOMA-β had been ln-transformed. Combined hyperlipidemia was defined as serum cholesterol level was over 5.2 mmol/L and serum triglyceride was over 1.7 mmol/L; hypertriglyceridemia was defined as serum triglyceride was over 1.7 mmol/L; hypercholesterolemia was defined as serum cholesterol was over 5.2 mmol/L. The different types of hyperlipidemia seemed to have comparable effect on HOMA-β level in newly diagnosed T2DM.
