Clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with T2DM broken down according to <i>DIO2</i> rs225017 (T/A) polymorphism.

Data are mean ± SD, median (minimum - maximum values) or %. A1C, glycated haemoglobin; BMI, body mass index; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment - insulin resistance; Met, metformin; SU, sulfonylureas; WHR, waist-to-hip ratio; P values were estimated by χ2 or ANOVA, as appropriate. aVariables which were logarithmically transformed before analyses. bFor comparisons of fasting insulin levels and HOMA-IR index among rs225017 genotypes, we analyzed only 227 individuals (162 individuals harboring the A/A or A/T genotypes and 65 individuals harboring the T/T genotype).
