OBJECTIVE: The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 285 million people around the world have diabetes. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has proposed hemoglobin A1C 6.5% (HbA1c) for the diagnosis of diabetes, and 5.7-6.4% as a risk factor for progression to diabetes. This new criterions accuracy is controversial and has not yet been adopted internationally. We aimed to clarify the power of A1C in diagnosis of diabetes and pre-diabetes.
