Age, hypertension, body mass index, duration of diabetes, fasting insulin and fasting C peptide are analyzed in the multivariate model, and those in the equation in multiple model are shown in the table. CAD, coronary artery disease; CI, confidence interval; NITDM, non-insulin-treated diabetes mellitus, ITDM, insulin-treated diabetes mellitus.
