Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis with EDA as the dependent variable.

Independent variable	Regression coefficient (SE)	Standardized coefficient beta			95% CI
FIns	2.198 (0.548)	0.269	4.012	<0.001	1.119-3.278
HOMA-β	-0.035 (0.012)	-0.189	-2.906	0.004	(-0.058)-(-0.011)
Log (UACR)	35.521 (9.782)	0.223	3.631	<0.001	3.631-54.788

CI: confidence interval. The following independent variables were considered for the model: age, sex, smoking, DM duration, BMI, WHR, HbA1c, FPG, 2hPG, FIns, 2hIns, FC-P, 2hCP, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, UA, BUN, creatinine, eGFR, and drug use. Only the variables that had a were considered in the final fitted model.
