The area under the ROC curve for detecting undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes by HbA1c levels was 0.810 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.796–0.823) and 0.732 (95% CI 0.717–0.747), respectively. HbA1c threshold of 6.4% and 6.1% produced the highest sum of sensitivity (60.00% and 61.49%...
Objective: To identify the optimal threshold of HbA1c and to evaluate the predictive performance of HbA1c levels in diagnosing diabetes and prediabetes in a middle-aged and elderly Han Chinese population from northwest China.Methods: In all, 3354 participants aged >= 40 years with no history of...
CONTEXT: It is unclear why the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes, especially prediabetes, between diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) criteria, is substantially discordant. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the effects of obesity on the agreement between ...
Objective: In 2010, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) endorsed hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as 1 of 3 tests for diabetes and prediabetes screening. We describe the use of HbA1c testing for screening during routine visits in primary care clinics of an urban health care system in the U.S. ...
Along with losing weight, choosing healthier foods can lower A1c and prevent or delaytype 2 diabetesor lower the risk for complications. The best diet for prediabetes and diabetes is full of foods that may increase insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar or A1c levels, or reduce the risk for ...
The American Diabetes Association suggested that an A1C of 6.5% underestimates the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes in obese children and adolescents. Given the low sensitivity and specificity, the use of A1C by itself represents a poor diagnostic tool for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in ...
Opportunistic Screening For Diabetes And Prediabetes Using Hemoglobin A1C In An Urban Primary Care Setting - ScienceDirect Sohler N, Matti-Orozco B, Young E, Li X, Gregg EW, Ali MK, Bullard KM, Albu JB. Opportunistic screening for diabetes and prediabetes using hemoglobin A1C in an urban ...
Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions
Non-diabetic subjects with increased HbA1c, often termed “pre-diabetes”, do not only have a higher risk for the development of manifest diabetes mellitus but also for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality [2–5]. However, it is unclear how much of the excess risk is contributed by...
Using Hemoglobin A1c for Prediabetes and Diabetes Diagnosis in Adolescents: Can Adult Recommendations Be Upheld for Pediatric Use? The obesity epidemic has resulted in more young people having high-risk profiles for the development of type 2 diabetes. Screening to promote earlier diagn... LM Kester...
