There are proposals to use Hba1c as the diagnostic test for Diabetes in the near future in the UK, instead of fasting glucose etc. America are apparently using HbA1c as of Jan 2010 to diagnose and this has resulted in more diagnosed cases than simply using fasting glucose.
Interesting in hearing from those diagnosed, what was used to diagnose diabetes and did you get hba1c done as a diagnostic test or at time of diagnosis?
