Body Weight
Tidsramme: baseline, week 3
|
The effect of Metformin and acupuncture combined therapy on weight loss (Change from baseline in body weight), body weight was measured while the subjects were dressed in light clothing after an overnight fasting and by a standard scale to an accuracy of +/-0.1 kg.
All measures were recorded by one assessment, at baseline before the first time treatment, and before the last time treatment at week 3.

Changes of IR was calculated by the homeostasis model (HOMA-IR), proposed by Matthews et al.
HOMA-IR = (fasting insulin (mmol/L) × fasting glucose (µIU/ml))/22•5.
Blood markers were calculated by measuring them after drawing 10 ml of blood from cubital vein in each patient, after 8 hours of overnight fasting and before treatment; Blood was collected three times during the study (at the beginning, at the 5th time, and at the end), from groups, using standard range and ELISA diagnostic kits (Biomatik USA LLC, www.biomatik.com),
