Criteria for Diagnosis of DM to other types of DM Flashcards
Requested during insulin shock and hyperglycemic ketonic coma
Random Plasma Glucose/ Random Blood
Sugar/RBS
Reference value for RBS
<160 mg/dL
T/F: If RBS is ≥160 mg/dL → perform FBS/ HbA1c/ 2-hr OGTT for confirmation
TRUE
Measure of overall glucose homeostasis
It is affected by Diurnal Variation (higher in the morning than in the afternoon)
Fasting Plasma Glucose
Reference value for FPG
70-99 mg/dL
If FBG is done in the afternoon, the result will
falsely decrease
FBG increase with age for how many per decade?
2mg/dL (per decade)
o Uses standardized Glucose Load (75g equivalent complete meal)
o After the 2-hour after meal, the patient must not eat anything
2nd hour Post Prandial Blood Glucose
Reference value for 2hr Post prandial Glucose
60-140 mg/dL
Diabetic value for 2hr PPG
≥200 mg/dL
2hr PPG increase with age for how many mg per decade
4 mg
Called “glycosylated/glycated” because glucose is non-enzymatically attached to one or both beta chain of the hemoglobin
Glycosylated (Glycated) Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
- referred test to assess long-term glycemic control
- Reflects the average glucose level over the past 2-3 months
Glycosylated (Glycated) Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
Decrease RBC life span in hemolytic anemia or hemoglobinopathies will cause
False decrease HbA1c
Substitute test for patient with hemolytic anemia and hemoglobinopathies
Fructosamine
Reference value: HbA1C
Adult: 4.0-6.0 % (American Diabetes Association: <5.7%) ▪ Pediatrics:<7.5%
Diabetic value for HbA1C
≥6.5%
Prediabetes value for HbA1c
5.7-6.4%(normal but at risk)
- Most widely used to assess short-term glycemic control (3-6 weeks)
- Specimen: Serum with or without fasting
Fructosamine/Glycosylated/Glycated albumin/Plasma Protein Ketoamine
Methods used for fructosamine
HPLC, Affinity chromatography, photometric assay
