General Medicine · Endocrinology
A 46-year-old adult without symptoms has a laboratory HbA1c of 6.7% at a routine visit. There is no pregnancy or known condition affecting HbA1c accuracy. What is the most appropriate next step to establish the diagnosis?
- Exclude diabetes because there are no symptoms
- Confirm the abnormal result with repeat laboratory testing
- Diagnose diabetes only if HbA1c exceeds 8%
- Use a urine glucose test as the sole confirmation
Show answer and explanation
B. Confirm the abnormal result with repeat laboratory testing.
An HbA1c of at least 6.5% falls in the diabetes range. In an asymptomatic person, a second abnormal laboratory result is needed for confirmation. Lack of symptoms does not exclude diabetes; urine glucose does not replace diagnostic blood testing.
NIDDK: The A1C Test & DiabetesGeneral Medicine · Endocrinology
A nonpregnant adult has a fasting plasma glucose of 112 mg/dL after an overnight fast. Which category does this result fall into using the diagnostic ranges described by NIDDK?
- Normal fasting glucose
- Prediabetes range
- Diabetes range
- Severe hypoglycemia
Show answer and explanation
B. Prediabetes range.
A fasting plasma glucose of 100–125 mg/dL lies in the prediabetes range. A value of 126 mg/dL or higher is in the diabetes range, with confirmation generally needed when there are no symptoms. This question asks for the laboratory category, not a treatment decision.
