Med. 28, 31–35 (2011) Abstract Aim To analyse the performance of HbA1c in diagnosing Type 2 diabetes based on fasting plasma glucose and/or 2-h plasma glucose measurements after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Methods This is a study of diagnostic test accuracy in individuals referred to the Clinical Pathology Department for oral glucose tolerance testing. After fasting overnight, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and 2-h plasma glucose were measured. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of HbA1c. Results Four hundred and ninety-eight subjects (195 male, mean age 56 years) were enrolled and 115 (23.1%) were diagnosed with diabetes according to glucose-based methods and only 56 (11.2%) individuals were identified by HbA1c≥ 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) (sensitivity 20.9%, specificity 95.3%). There is poor agreement between the newly recommended criterion and the current glucose-based diagnostic criteria (κ = 0.217; P |
