Community screening for diabetes that is based on measured glucose is of low yield. The known problems of glucose-based screening, coupled with its low yield, make a glucose-based approach difficult to justify. These results indicate that glucose-based community screening should be done only under the careful supervision of a health professional who is trained both in glucose measurement instrumentation and in screening.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
