means . BMI: body mass index; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; PPG: postprandial plasma glucose; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; AIR: acute insulin response; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. The median levels of AIR and HOMA-IR were 430 pmol/L·10 min and 2.25, respectively. Age, BMI, HDL-C, total episodes of mild hypoglycemia, mean insulin dose, FPG, and PPG were stratified according to the characteristics of clinical indicators. AIR and HOMA-IR were stratified based on the median levels.
