Fig. 1: Probability of type 2 diabetes remission analyzed by tertile absolute neutrophil count at baseline.

A The analysis was performed using a Cox regression curve by tertiles of the absolute neutrophil count at baseline as unadjusted and adjusted by BMI, sex, diet, age, HDL-C, triglycerides and statins. T1 indicates low Neutrophils (N = 62), T2 indicates normal levels (N = 62) and T3 indicates high neutrophil levels (N = 59) (Reference). B The analysis was performed using a Cox regression curve by tertiles of the absolute neutrophil count at baseline in those participants that followed Mediterranean diet as Unadjusted and adjusted by BMI, sex, age, HDL-C, triglycerides and statins. T1 indicates low Neutrophils, T2 indicates normal levels and T3 indicates high neutrophil levels. C The analysis was performed using a Cox regression curve by tertiles of the absolute neutrophil count at baseline in those participants that followed low-fat diet as Unadjusted and adjusted by BMI, sex, age, HDL-C, triglycerides and statins. T1 indicates low Neutrophils, T2 indicates normal levels and T3 indicates high neutrophil levels. Asterisk indicates significant difference of the model according the Cox proportional-hazards model regression (***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05). CI Confidence interval, HR Hazard ratio, T2DM Type 2 diabetes mellitus, T1 tertile 1, T2 tertile 2, T3 tertile 3.
