The criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes is either two fasting blood glucose readings
with results greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL or a random blood glucose reading
greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL if symptoms of diabetes are present. Random
glucose is not the appropriate test. In older adults, the glucose reading after a 2-hour
oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) rises more rapidly than the fasting glucose. Kennedy

repeat fasting glucose in 1 year

unequivocal hyperglycemia, result should be confirmed by repeat testing . A HgbA1C is
the correct answer becasue the repeat testing should be completed without delay.
Retesting in a week or a year is a delay. Metformin should not be initatiated until the
diagnosis is confirmed . Dunphy p.925
