Abstract

The study population of 127 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk factors underwent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HbA1c measurement for diagnostic reasons. HbA1c revealed less diabetic patients than OGTT (31% vs 43%). HbA1c >7% and OGTT were similar in confirming diabetes, but HbA1c <7% suggests the need for OGTT performance to validate the diagnosis.
