Table 3 Proposed combined criteria for the definition diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. As expected in view of the small cohort, 100% of our patients with IGT by combined criteria had IGT1. This would mean that FPG diabetics and 2hPG normals will have 100% concordance with the combined criteria diabetics and normals respectively (see figure). In larger cohorts there may be a minor discordance of FPG diabetics and 2hPG normals with the combined criteria (IGT2).

Combined diagnostic criteria for diabetes | |
|---|---|
Diabetes | FPG≥ 7 mmol/L AND 2-hour glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L |
Impaired glucose tolerance | IGT1: FPG<7 mmol/L AND 2-hour glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/L Or IGT2: FPG≥ 7 mmol/L AND 2-hour glucose <7.8 mmol/L |
Normal | FPG<7 mmol/L AND 2-hour glucose <7.8 mmol/L |
