Comparison of Fasting and 2-Hour Glucose and HbA1c Levels for Diagnosing Diabetes: Diagnostic criteria and performance revisited

Abstract: Optimal cutpoints for defining diabetes differ according to how diabetes itself is defined. When diabetes is defined as the upper component of the bimodal population distribution, a fasting glucose level somewhat lower than the current WHO cutpoint and a 2-h glucose level somewhat higher than the current WHO cutpoint minimized misclassification. When diabetic retinopathy defines diabetes, we found that the current fasting diagnostic criterion favors specificity and the current 2-h criterion favors sensitivity.… Show more

“…Subjects with fasting glucose values of 6.1-6.9 mmol/l would be classified as having impaired fasting glucose and those with 2-h values of 7.8-11 mmol/l as having IGT. It is important to note that similar to the data used for the 1978 NDDG criteria (19), these values are based on data from the Pima Indian Study (20), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, the Paris Prospective Study (21), and an Egyptian study (22) (all adult populations who are at risk for type 2 diabetes). These committees did not consider the significance of postprandial hyperglycemia alone in children because there was no clear evidence that this population of subjects existed.…”

“…The revised diagnostic criteria for diabetes endorsed by the World Health Organization in 1998 2 were based on epidemiological evidence linking certain measures of glycaemic control to risk of diabetic microvascular disease -specifically retinopathy. 3,4 Similar data now examining the epidemiological link between glycaemic control and macrovascular disease are taking us to the conclusion that the increased risk begins much earlier -at HbA 1c levels of over 5.0%. 5 If treating to this target will protect our patients from premature cardiovascular disease, this is what we must strive to do.…”

“…All the patients had a random capillary glucose level more than 6.1 mM and regarded as higher risk of diabetes [20] and needed further examination. The concentrations of glucose and HbAlc were tested after a 2-hour 75-gram oral glucose intake.…”
