Result: Significant differences were found in the values of PG and Ins among groups with different ages. The values of PG of 4 pathological courses of DM were: Normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) < 6.10 mmol/L and 2hPG < 7.8 mmol/L; Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group: 6.10 mmol/L ≤ FPG < 7.0 mmol/L and 2hPG < 7.8 mmol/L; Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group: F...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relative contribution of increased fasting and postload plasma glucose concentrations to the incidence of type 2 diabetes in subjects with a normal 2-h plasma glucose concentration. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 3,450 subjects with 2-h plasma glucose concentration <140 mg/dl at baseline were followed up in the San Antonio Heart Study (SAHS) and the Botnia Study ...

OBJECTIVE Under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health, American Diabetes Association, and World Health Organization, expert committees lowered the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration diagnostic for diabetes from 7.8 to 7.0 mmol/l and defined 6.1-6.9 mmol/l as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and <6.1 mmol/l as normal fasting glucose. In 2003, IFG was lowered to 5.6-6.9 mmol/l a...

Objectives: To determine the correlation of fasting salivary glucose with plasma (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) for diagnosis monitoring type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A case - control study was carried out from 11th March to 30th August 2021, involving 88 participants which 44 were healthy controls known T2DM who had FPG ≥ 126 mg/dl or 7.0 mmol/L. measured by Glucose oxid...

OBJECTIVE We investigated stroke mortality in individuals in different categories of glycemia and compared hazard ratios (HRs) corresponding to a 1-SD increase in 2-h plasma glucose and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) criteria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined data from 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests taken from 13 European cohorts comprising 11,844 (55%) men and 9,862 (45%) women w...

This study was done to determine the correlation between glucose monitoring by fasting blood glucose or 2 hours postprandial blood glucose with HbA1c and fructosamine in type 2 diabetic patients. A total of 82 patients from the Primary Care Clinic were enrolled in the study. Fasting blood was drawn for fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and fructosamine. Two hours after ...

HIGHLIGHTS The combined use of fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1c test is associated with significantly higher diagnostic rates of prediabetes across age, race/ethnicity, and BMI than using only one test.Combined use of fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and oral glucose tolerance test do not improve the overall and gender-specific prediabetes prevalence beyond what is observed usin...

Introduction: Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) reflects patient’s glycemic status over the previous 3 months. Previous studies have reported that iron deficiency may elevate A1C concentrations, independent of glycemia. This study is aimed to analyze the effect of iron deficiency anemia on HbA1c levels in diabetic population having plasma glucose levels in control. Methods: Totally, 120 diabetic, iron-def...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdWe randomized 16 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to four 6-week treatments with placebo (P), M, S, and M+S. After each period, subjects received a 6-h meal tolerance test (MTT) with [C]glucose to calculate glucose kinetics. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting plasma insulin, C-peptide (insulin secretory rate [ISR]), fasting plasma glucagon, and bioact...
