Table 1 The mean HbA1c (and 95% CI for the difference between means) of 2hPG or FPG subgroups within the combined criteria groups are reported. There were no significant differences in mean HbA1c between subgroups suggesting that the glycemic status within combined criteria groups was similar even for different FPG or 2hPG levels.
