Table 1. Ranges to diagnose pre-diabetic and diabetic.
| Tests | Pre-diabetic | Diabetic |
|---|---|---|
| HbA1C | 5.7–6.4 | ≥6.5% |
| FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) | 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L* | ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L |
| OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) | 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L)* | ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) |
| RPG (Random Plasma Glucose) | – | ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) |
Notes.
In all these tests, the risk is continuous, extending below the lower limit of the range and becoming disproportionately greater at the higher end of the spectrum.
