[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 930107, member: 43498"] I quite agree. There seem to be different testing methods all over the place. To me, it seems logical that FBG + HbA1c would cover most scenarios, and if the picture still wasn't clear, you could throw in a GTT, which seems to be handy in certain circumstances. Random BGs, to me, are only useful for screening people at places like pharmacies or shopping malls, to pick up frank diabetes or coax people into getting proper FBG/HbA1c testing done. (The above comments only apply to T1 and T2/pre-D, because the other types, and related dysglycaemic conditions like RH, seem to require more in depth testing and analysis.) All very interesting.
