HbA1c Measurement Improves the Detection of Type 2 Diabetes in High-Risk Individuals With Nondiagnostic Levels of Fasting Plasma Glucose

Abstract: OBJECTIVE -Whereas new diagnostic criteria based on a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of Ͼ126 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/l) have improved the detection of diabetes, multiple reports indicate that many people with diabetes diagnosed by 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose measurements of Ն11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) would remain undiagnosed based on this FPG criteria. Thus, improved methods to detect diabetes are particularly needed for high-risk individuals. We evaluated whether the combination of FPG and HbA 1c measu… Show more

“…This is close to the 15% prevalence recently reported from the Tayside Diabetes Network 232 and the 17% based on the Early Diabetes Intervention Program (EDIP) study. 211 Analyses from NHANES III and other studies show a marked change in prevalence above an HbA 1c of 5.9%, 17 confirming that our assumption above is reasonable.…”

“…HbA1c measurement improves the sensitivity of screening in high-risk individuals. 14 The results of our study showed that the level of HbA 1c is significantly higher with declining degrees of potency. Our results showed that in patients with good potency, the mean level of HbA 1c was 7.9%; in patients with fair potency, the mean level of HbA 1c was 8.2%, whereas in patients with poor potency the mean level of HbA 1c was 11%.…”

“…Some of the men without a DM-FPG but with a high 2hPG could be screened because they have high HbA 1c . A recent article shows that for the 101 subjects with a DM-2hPG, 45% have a DM-FPG whereas 62% have an HbA 1c above 6.1% (mean ± 2SD), enabling the detection of additional subjects with a DM-2hPG [15]. As commented by the American Diabetes Association Expert Committee [6], the FPG is strongly recommended in clinical settings because it is easier to carry out than an OGTT and less expensive.…”
