WHO criteria for interpreting 2-h OGTTa

2-h OGTT result, mmol/L (mg/dL)
0 h 2 h
Impaired fasting glucoseb >6.1 (110) to <7.0 (126) <7.8 (140)
Impaired glucose tolerancec <7.0 (126) >7.8 (140) to <11.1 (200)
Diabetesd >7.0 (126) >11.1 (200)
a

Values are for venous plasma glucose using a 75-g oral glucose load. From the WHO (19).

b

If 2-h glucose is not measured, status is uncertain as diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance cannot be excluded.

c

Both fasting and 2-h values need to meet criteria.

d

Either fasting or 2-h measurement can be used. Any single positive result should be repeated on a separate day.
