Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C)diagnosing type 2 diabetes mellitus and Impaired
Fasting Glucose(IFG), and determine the diagnostic cut point. Methods: Oral Glucose Tolerance Test(OGTT)and HbA1C were
detected in patients with 332 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and 175 cases of Impaired Fasting Glucose. Receiver
Operating Characteristic Curve(ROC)was used to determine the optimal HbA1C diagnostic cutoff point for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Results: The FBG and HbA1C levels of the IFG and T2DM group were higher than normal healthy control group with statistical
significance(P<0.05). According to ROC, the optimal cutoff point of HbA1C for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 6.25%,
and its sensitivity was 86.5%, its specificity 95.2%, the AUC was 0.959(95% CI: 0.945-0.973). Conclusion: The optimal cutoff point
of HbA1C for the diagnosis of Impaired Fasting Glucose was 5.51%, and the optimal cutoff point of HbA1c for the diagnosis of type 2
diabetes mellitus was 6.25%. HbA1C is an available parameter in diagnosing T2DM.
