Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. DM can be diagnosed by increased venous plasma glucose or increased blood hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

  2. Glycemic control is monitored by SMBG with meters and/or continuous interstitial glucose monitoring, and by laboratory HbA1c

  3. Roles of noninvasive glucose monitoring, genetic testing, and measurement of ketones, autoantibodies, urine albumin, insulin, proinsulin and C-peptide are addressed

  4. Several analytes have minimal clinical value at present; their measurement is not recommended
