In the morning after 12 hours overnight fast, all individuals underwent a 75 gram (g) oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Blood samples were taken before loading glucose and then 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after taking glucose solution in order to measure serum glucose and insulin levels. Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured in blood samples taken before the OGTT. We calculated the Matsuda index and Homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA-IR) using glucose and insulin levels.
