We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this proposal and conclude that the advantages have the upper hand. Clinical chemists are pleading for a combination of HbA1c and glucose measurements.

Background: Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c.

Methods: We used data from 96 population-based health examination surveys that had measured at least two of the biomarkers used for defining diabetes.
