Evidence of Insulin Resistance in Adult Uncomplicated Malaria: Result of a Two-Year Prospective Study

Table 2

BMI, FBG, HbA1_c, insulin, HOMAIR, and HOMAB levels of respondents during malaria by study group.

Parameter	Diabetic; = 70	Nondiabetic; = 30	value
FBG (mmol/L)	7.12 ± 0.60	5.27 ± 0.60	<0.001^*
BMI (kg/m^2)	27.98 ± 4.53	26.01 ± 5.75	0.026^*
HbA1c (%)	5.67 ± 1.03	4.63 ± 1.07	<0.001^*
Insulin (μIU/mL)	10.57 ± 5.27	15.45 ± 8.60	0.02^*
HOMAIR	3.58 ± 0.34	3.32 ± 0.55	0.563
HOMAB	69.74 ± 25.52	189.15 ± 21.40	<0.001^*

Figures represent mean ± standard deviation; BMI: body mass index; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HbA1_c: glycosylated hemoglobin; HOMAIR: homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMAB: homeostatic model assessment of beta cell secretion; ^*significant value.
