FIGURE 1 Effects of niacin and placebo on fasting glucose over time in patients with or without diabetes mellitus. Between baseline and week 0, patients' regimens were titrated to 1 g/d. From week 0 to week 18, regimens were titrated from 1 g/d to 3 g/d. SI conversion factor: To convert glucose values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555.

FIGURE 2 Effects of simvastatin-niacin (SN) and placebo on fasting glucose (top panels) and insulin (bottom panels) levels over time in patients with or without diabetes mellitus (DM). Post = up to 3 years. SI conversion factor: To convert glucose values to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555. From Am J Cardiol,21 Copyright © 2004, with permission from Elsevier.

FIGURE 3 Effects of niacin and placebo on postprandial glucose (mean 1-hour plasma glucose after a glucose load ≥180 mg/dL) (to convert to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0555). Closeout visit (CV) 2 was 4 months after CV 1. Only patients completing CV 2 were included. Data from reference 24.

FIGURE 4 Effects of niacin and placebo on 6-year rate of myocardial infarction (MI) (A), 6-year rate of coronary artery disease (CAD) death or MI (B), and 15-year all-cause mortality rates (C) according to baseline levels of fasting glucose (FG). HR = hazard ratio. Z values based on test for homogeneity of treatment effect by FG were -0.44 for MI, 0.47 for CAD death or MI, and -0.63 for all-cause mortality, with values between -1.96 and +1.96 indicating homogeneity (no statistical differences) in HRs across FG levels.
