I’ve noticed some NHS trusts are diagnosing prediabetes at an hba1c of 6% to 6.4% and this goes along with a lot of information online, however I was under the impression it was 5.7% to 6.4%.
Can anyone advise? I can’t believe different UK trusts use different criteria for the same disease.
This should be what they use.. but GP surgeries can be a law unto themselves..

UK or? Different countries may have different parameters for diagnosis?Thanks! Where has this 5.7% come from then? It’s so bizarre! It’s quoted all over various medical sites.

Do you have a link? I'd be interested too.
Its only the lower limit that is different.. want to get more people on medication sooner I guess..Ah yes, American. Still... same condition, its worrying there is different criteria.

FBG is incredibly variable some in the US use it to diagnose I'd say it moves around way too much for that.Conflicting info on fasting levels for prediabetes too. I could have sworn a fasting glucose of 5.5 and above was prediabetic in the UK which conflicts this.
