The increased morbidity and mortality due to type 2 diabetes can be partly due to its delayed diagnosis. In developing countries, the cost and unavailability of conventional screening methods can be a setback. Use of random blood glucose (RBG) may be beneficial in testing large numbers at a low cost and in a short time in identifying persons at risk of developing diabetes. In this analysis, we aim to derive the values of RBG corresponding to the cut-off values of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) used to define prediabetes and diabetes.
