[QUOTE="Alison Campbell, post: 1395966, member: 91555"] My reading of research suggests that committee's sit around and decide what the diagnostic levels are. Often the decisions are based on political and financial reasons and not purely based on the levels that ensure the best healthcare outcomes and the least diabetic complications. The committee also influences the tools used for diagnosis, such as fasting glucose, HBA1C and glucose tolerence tests. The outcome of this can lead to over diagnosis and some people not being diagnosed at all due to factors like genetics, medication, age and ethnic heritage. We can only do our best with the tools given. [/QUOTE]
