Fig. 2From: Higher systolic blood pressure is specifically associated with better islet beta-cell function in T2DM patients with high glycemic levelRCS analysis on the association of SBP with 2 h PBG (a, b) and FBG (c, d). Poverall and Pnon-linear were from the generalized linear model, in which age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, TG, LDL-C, Matsuda index, insulin treatment, oral hypoglycemic agent treatment, ACE inhibitor/ARB treatment, and other antihypertensive agent treatment were adjusted. ISSI2, insulin secretion-sensitivity index-2; SBP, systolic blood pressure; PBG, postprandial blood glucose; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; BMI, body mass index; TG, triglyceride; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ACE, angiotensin converting enzyme; ARB, angiotensin receptor blockerBack to article page
