Article Synopsis
- HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy have increased risks for diabetes, but the best diagnostic approach for identifying diabetes in these patients is still debated due to differing results from various tests.
- A study involving 220 HIV-infected individuals compared fasting glucose, OGTT, and HbA1c to determine the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes, finding discrepancies in diagnosis rates across methods.
- Results indicated no diabetes cases via HbA1c, with OGTT and fasting glucose revealing a 5.9% and 3.2% prevalence of diabetes respectively, while prediabetes rates varied significantly among all diagnostic methods and were associated with factors like age and body composition issues.
