The data set contains three measurements made on 145 non-obese adult patients classified into three groups.
data(diabetes)A data frame with the following variables:

Area under plasma insulin curve after a three hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Steady state plasma glucose.
This dataset is flawed (compare with the reference) and it is provided here only for backward compatibility. A 5-variable version of the Reaven and Miller data is available in package rrcov. The glucose and sspg columns in this datsset are identical to the fpg and insulin columns, respectively in the rrcov version. The insulin column in this dataset differs from the glucose column in the rrcov version in one entry: observation 104 has the value 45 in the insulin column in this data, and 455 in the corresponding glucose column of the rrcov version.
