Dear friends and fellow colleagues, Many of our friends on this platform have lot of doubts regarding diagnosis of DM . The following are the criteria for diagnosis of DM except GDM. 1) FPG of 126 mg/dl or more OR 2) An OGTT with 75 g of anhydrous glucose dissolved in water and 2 hr PG of 200 mg/dl or more. OR 3) HbA1c of 6.5% or more OR 4) Casual or Random PG with symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis of 200 mg/dl or more. Fasting is defined as no calorie intake for a period of 8 hrs except water as water has no calories. FPG of 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl is called IFG Impaired Fasting Glucose. OGTT of 140mg/dl to 199 mg/dl is called IGT Impaired Glucose Tolerance. These two are called Prediabetes. HbA1c The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified and standardized to DCCT assay NGSP National Glycohaemoglobin Standardisation Program. DCCT Diabetes Care and Complications Trial. Reference. ADA Standards of Medicall Care in Diabetes published in Diabetes Care an official journal of ADA January 2016 Vol 39, Supplement 1. Thanks a lot my friends, With regards, Dr Sepuri Krishna Mohan
