Mr. Murali has 126 mg/dl of fasting plasma glucose. His venous plasma glucose 2h after ingestion of 75g oral glucose load is 149 mg/dl. This patient comes under which stage of WHO diagnostic criteria of diabetes & intermediate hyperglycemia?
High-Yield Explanation
WHO recommendations for diagnostic criteria for diabetes & intermediate hyperglycemia: Diagnosis Fasting plasma glucose 2-hr plasma glucose after ingestion of 75g oral glucose load Diabetes >=7.0 mmol/L or 126 mg/dl > 11.1 mmol/L or 200 mg/dl Impaired Glucose Tolerance < 7.0 mmol/L or 126 mg/dl >= 7.8 & < 11.1 mmol/L or b/w 140 mg/dL to 200 mg/dL Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) 6.1 to 6. 9 mmol/L or 110 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL < 7.8 mmol/L or 140 mg/dL - Hence, as per the WHO criteria, Murali has impaired glucose tolerance
