Figure 4 Plot showing interaction between FBG and plasma insulin in modifying platelet-dependent thrombosis. Patients were divided into four groups:

  1. FBG ≤4.9 mmol/l plus insulin levels of ≤126 pmol/l (n = 12);
  2. FBG ≤4.9 mmol/l plus insulin levels of >126 pmol/l (n = 9);
  3. FBG >4.9 mmol/l plus insulin levels of ≤126 pmol/l (n = 8); and
  4. FBG >4.9 mmol/l plus insulin levels of >126 pmol/l (n = 13).
Data are expressed as mean ± SD (one-sided error bars). FBG = fasting blood glucose; PDT = platelet-dependent thrombosis.
