Screening for Diagnosis of Diabetes

To test for diabetes or to assess risk of future diabetes, either A1C, Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), or 2-h 75-g Oral Glucose ToleranceTest (OGTT) are appropriate.

An A1C level of 5.7% to 6.4% indicates increased risk for diabetes. The presence of diabetes is indicated by:

A1C level of 6.5 % or higher; FPG level of > 126 mg/dl; OGTT level > 200 mg/dl.
