1. A1C ≥6.5%. The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified and standardized to the DCCT assay.* OR |
2. FPG ≥126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L). Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 hours.* OR |
3. 2-hour plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT. The test should be performed as described by the World Health Organization, using a glucose load containing the equivalent of 75 g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water.* OR |
4. In a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis, a random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L). |
A1C: glycated hemoglobin; DCCT: Diabetes Control and Complications Trial; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; NGSP: National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program; OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test.
* In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, diagnosis requires 2 abnormal test results from the same sample or in 2 separate test samples.Do you want to add Medilib to your home screen?
