•A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the associations of microalbuminuria with pancreatic β-cell function and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.•524 type 2 diabetic patients aged 30–75 years with the diabetic duration of 0.1–40 years were included in the study.•The study suggests that insulin resistance is associated with an increased prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes, while improved pancreatic β-cell function is linked to decreased rates of microalbuminuria for those patients.
We investigate the relationships of pancreatic β-cell function and insulin resistance with microalbuminuria in a cross-sectional study of patients with type 2 diabetes. The study suggests insulin resistance is associated with an increased prevalence of microalbuminuria, while improved pancreatic β-cell function is linked to decreased rates of microalbuminuria for those patients.
