Fasting plasma glucose beats HbA1c for diabetes screening

(HealthDay)—For patients without diabetes undergoing coronary angiography (CAG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) performs better in diabetes screening than glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), according to a s...

Canagliflozin Lowers HbA1c in Elderly With Type 2 Diabetes

Canagliflozin lowered glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in older adults with type 2 diabetes on a variety of antihyperglycemic agents, and reduced fasting plasma glucose and body weight. Medscape Medical...

Diet, Fasting Glucose, Genotype, and Glucose Homeostasis

This study aimed to determine whether genotype and diet interact to influence fasting glucose and fasting insulin concentration. American Journal of Epidemiology

PPG Is Acknowledged By 70% Of Diabetes Specialists As Being Equally Important To FPG For Achieving HbA1c Goals In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

A new survey commissioned by Sanofi Diabetes reveals that seven in 10 (70%) diabetes specialists believe that postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) is as important as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in the m...

Niacin curbs atherosclerosis but impacts glucose metabolism

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Combined data indicate that in patients with normal baseline glucose levels, niacin treatment lowers the odds of coronary stenosis progression and major cardiovascular...

CHINA'S DIABETES DRUG MARKET

In China, the diabetes morbidity rate of people aged above 20 has reached over 9.7%, and the morbidity rate of pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance) has reached 15.5...

4.4 mmol/L is optimal fasting glucose cutoff for GDM screening

(HealthDay)—A fasting plasma glucose value of 4.4 mmol/L is the optimal cut point for determining which pregnant Chinese women need a 75-g 2-h oral glucose tolerance test offered at 24 to 28 weeks'...

Imeglimin-Sitagliptin Therapy Shows Significant Benefits In Type 2 Diabetes

Imeglimin, a novel compound being developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, showed increasing effectiveness as an add-on therapy to sitagliptin, in patients inadequately controlled by sitagliptin monotherap...

Impact of HbA1c screening criterion on the diagnosis of pre-diabetes among US adults.

AbstractBackground. New clinical practice recommendations include hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as an alternative to fasting glucose as a diagnostic test for identifying pre-diabetes. The impact of these new...

Comparison of HbA1c and oral glucose tolerance test for diagnosis of diabetes in patients with coronary artery disease.

BACKGROUND: Measurement of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to diagnose diabetes mellitus (DM-2) is recommended by several expert groups. DM-2 occurs very frequently among patients with coronary artery...

The relationship between glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and measures of insulin resistance across a range of glucose tolerance.

Abstract Aim. This study aimed to assess the correlation between HbA1c and insulin resistance as measured by a variety of different indices in subjects from across the glycaemic spectrum. Methods. Sub...

Performance of Glycated Hemoglobin for the Classification and Prediction of Diabetes.

AbstractBackground: Although glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is now recommended to diagnose diabetes, its test performance for diagnosis and prognosis is uncertain. Our objective was to assess the test pe...

The potential impact and optimal cut-points of using glycated haemoglobin, HbA1c, to detect people with impaired glucose regulation in a UK multi-ethnic cohort.

INTRODUCTION: Recommended diagnostic cut-points to detect impaired glucose regulation (IGR, also termed prediabetes: impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance based on WHO 1999 criter...
