Type 2 & other diabetes

Comparing American Diabetes Association (ADA) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) diagnostic criteria for intermediate hyperglycaemia and diabetes in the SHiDS study

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The ADA criteria can identify individuals with elevated haemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) levels when the 1-hour plasma glucose (1-h PG) stay within the normal range, while the IDF criteria can identify subjects with impaired insulin sensitivity and secretion when fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour plasma glucose (2-h PG) and HbA1c values are in the normal range.
