[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 930078, member: 43498"] I was curious about this and looked up the current NICE guidelines (massive documents... glad I don't have to learn and use them!). They seem to say either FBG or HbA1c are fine, ie equal in value: "For people with possible type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose 7.0 mmol/l, or above, or [URL='http://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/preventing-type-2-diabetes#glossary-hba1c']HbA1c[/URL] is 48 mmol/mol [6.5%], but no symptoms of type 2 diabetes): [LIST] [*]Carry out a second blood test. If type 2 diabetes is confirmed, treat this in accordance with NICE guidance on [URL='http://guidance.nice.org.uk/cg87/']type 2 diabetes[/URL]. Ensure blood testing conforms to national quality specifications."
