| Outcome Measures: |
Primary: Beta-cell Function - C-peptide AUC (Area Under the Curve), C-peptide AUC during a 3-hours mixed meal challenge testing, 72 months | Secondary: Insulin Sensitivity as Measure be Matsuda Index, C-peptide-based Matsuda index using following formula: Matsuda index = 500,00 / root square \[(fasting c-peptide x fasting glucose x 333) x (average c-peptide 0-120 mins x average glucose 0-120 mins x 333). Higher the Matsuda index, better the insulin sensitivity., 72 months|Bet-cell Function Measured by Disposition Index, Disposition index was measured by multiplying the insulin secretion (C-peptide AUC/C-peptide AUC glucose) by the Matsuda index.
