Are current diagnostic guidelines delaying early detection of dysglycemic states? Time for new approaches

摘要

Diagnosis of dysglycemic states is likely delayed as current diagnostic criteria apply absolute threshold values to a process that is continuous. The importance of this relates to forestalling opportunities for earlier diagnosis when prevention and reversibility are more likely to occur by preventing further (3 cell dysfunction. Although the optimal method for earlier identification of individuals at risk remains uncertain, the paper suggests novel approaches.
