Data are mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise stated; median (range); §significant change from baseline (). △: change from baseline; AUC: area under the curve; ISSI: insulin secretion sensitivity index; HOMA-β: homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function; CPI: C-peptide reactivity index; SUIT: the secretory unit of islet in transplantation index; IGI: insulinogenic index; PI/IRI: ratio of proinsulin to immunoreactive insulin; HOMA-IR: homeostatic model assessment or insulin resistance.
