Lowering the criterion for impaired fasting glucose will not provide clinical benefit.
In 1997, the Expert Committee on the Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus lowered the fasting criterion for diabetes from 140 (7.8 mmol/l) to 126 mg/dl (7.0 mmol/l) (1). This decision was made to allow the prevalence of diabetes diagnosed by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentrations to equal the prevalence of diabetes diagnosed by 2-h values on a glucose tolerance test. The fact ...

Our only credential relevant to the diagnosis of diabetes is our willingness to think logically and our conviction that the goal of guidelines and policies must be to optimize patient outcomes. From this perspective we are befuddled by the Expert Committe...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of lowering the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) criteria for impaired fasting glucose (IFG) on the prevalence of IFG and the risk for the development of diabetes associated with IFG in Koreans. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 7,211 subjects who had normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or IFG were recruited. Subjects were evaluated at baseline a...
