Simplified, Low-Cost Method on Glucose Tolerance Testing in High-Risk Group of Diabetes, Explored by Simulation of Diagnosis

Abstract

Objective: Explore the distribution of basic characteristics of high-risk groups of diabetes; verify the practical significance and diagnostic value of the “three-point method”; layered analysis of glycated hemoglobin and glycated serum albumin, and study its value and significance in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, Type II and pre-diabetes mellitus, Type II.Methods: 1304 high-risk individuals with T2D in Shanghai, 529 males and 841 females with an average of (50.5 ± 15.2) years old, were examined by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), HbA1c and GA were determined. Process the data by Python and GraphPad; judge the diagnostic value of HbA1C, GA by ROC.Results: (1) The numbers of DM, NGT, HOG, IFG, Mild–IGT and Mid–IGT in the objects were 647, 141, 70, 4, 208 and 234 respectively. In the 43-49 age group with a higher incidence, the proportion of selected high-risk groups is low. (2) The sensitivity and specificity about “three-point method” used to determine NGT is 100% and 90.11%; to determine IGR is 75.11% and 97.32%; to determine HOG is 97.14% and 100%; to determine DM is 94.67% and 100%. (3) According to ROC judgment, it is found that these 2 did not have the function of separate diagnoses, the optimal critical point of HbA1C related to DM status is 5.95%, (P <.01).
