Popis: | A1C screening can identify some patients with previously unrecognized diabetes and its complications (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve ∼0.80 in our study [1]), which is one objective of “diagnosis.” The ADA criterion (≥6.5%) provides good specificity because it is higher than levels where interindividual variation confounds the relationship between glucose and A1C. However, it is also important to identify prediabetes. For this, A1C is inadequate (receiver operating characteristic area under the curve ∼0.70) because lower glucose levels are … |
