T2D: type 2 diabetes; DR: diabetic retinopathy; BMI: body mass index; HR: heart rate; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; FINS: fasting insulin; FCP: fasting C peptide; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance. The diagnosing criteria of hypertension were mmHg or mmHg or current administration of antihypertensive drugs. Smoking and drinking were defined as a personal history of smoking/drinking or current smoking/drinking, regardless of the frequency. Dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia were defined by the reference interval provided by the kit, and subjects currently taking lipid-lowering or hypouricemic drugs were also regarded as dyslipidemia or hyperuricemia patients. HOMA-IR was calculated as follows: . |
