Correlation of insulin parameters and INS β cell death marker. Correlation analysis between serum insulin and HOMA-IR with INS β cell death marker in pregnant women with GDM and HOMA-IR below percentile 75. Spearman test. Statistical significance was assumed at p < 0,05. ∆Ct Ct unmethylated-Ct methylated). Low values indicate a higher proportion of unmethylated DNA, therefore a higher rate of β-cell death
