The diagnostic test of choice for diabetes mellitus is [[Fasting plasma glucose|fasting plasma glucose (FPG)]]. According to the ADA criteria, diabetes mellitus is diagnosed with [[Fasting plasma glucose|FPG]] ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). Other diagnostic findings consistent with the diagnosis of type 1 DM include 2-h PG ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an [[Glucose tolerance test|OGTT]], or [[Glycosylated hemoglobin|A1C]] ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol), or classic symptoms of [[hyperglycemia]] or [[hyperglycemic crisis]], a [[random plasma glucose]] ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L).
Fasting plasma glucose, 2-h plasma glucose during 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and A1C are equally appropriate in diagnosing diabetes mellitus type 2.

Overview

Fasting plasma glucose, 2-h plasma glucose during 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and A1C are equally appropriate in diagnosing diabetes mellitus type 2.

Diagnostic study of choice

According to the ADA criteria, fasting plasma glucose, 2-h plasma glucose during 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, and A1C are equally appropriate in diagnosing diabetes mellitus type 2.[1]

Diagnostic criteria

ADA criteria for the diagnosis of type 2 DM follows:[2][3][4]

ADA Criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes
FPG ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h.*
OR
2-h PG ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT. The test should be performed as described by the WHO, using a glucose load containing the equivalent of 75 g anhydrous glucose dissolved in water.*
OR
A1C ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol). The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified and standardized to the DCCT assay.*
OR
In a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis, a random plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L).
  •  In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, results should be confirmed by repeat testing.
