Use of capillary glucose combined with other non-laboratory examinations to screen for diabetes and prediabetes.

Aim: To evaluate the value and feasibility of capillary glucose assessment, combined with other non-laboratory measures, in screening for diabetes and prediabetes in the community.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed fasting capillary glucose, fasting plasma glucose, and both capillary glucose and plasma glucose values after 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests in a total of 3736 samples. We determined the optimal threshold of capillary glucose using receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis.
