Further in-depth analysis revealed that in the HOMA-IR ≥1.73 group, the rate of change in lactate levels was positively correlated with the rate of change in HOMA-IR, FBG and FPI levels; in the FBG ≥6.1 mM group, the FPI levels dropped significantly and FBG levels reduced with a marginal significance ( p = 0.067).
