SBP: systolic pressure, DBP: diastolic pressure, HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin, TG: triglycerides, Cr: creatinine, SUA: serum uric acid, and InsAUC120: the area under the curve of insulin from 0 to 120 min. Both uric acid and HbA1c have a regressive relationship with InsAUC120 and some related influencing factors, regardless of gender. There is no regressive relationship between SUA and HbA1c after adjusting InsAUC120. denotes statistical significance.
