1-Hour Postload Glucose: Early Screening for High Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Koreans With Normal Fasting Glucose

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Even with normal fasting plasma glucose, a 1-h PG ≥ 155 mg/dL indicates lower insulin sensitivity similar to IGT and increased T2DM risk, making it a more effective early screening tool than 2-h PG.
