Recommendations

As issued by the authors

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

  2. Glycemic control is monitored by self-measured blood glucose with meters and/or CGM devices and by laboratory HbA1c

  3. Several analytes have minimal clinical value at present, and their measurement is not recommended
