  1. Values are regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals [in bracket] obtained from mixed-effects linear regression model. Values represent differences in glucose, insulin, and c-peptide concentrations in men compared with women at baseline (effect of sex), changes between a time point and baseline (effect of time), differences in changes between a time point and baseline in men compared to women (effect of sex # time interaction).
