Contributions of Fasting and Postprandial Glucose Concentrations to Haemoglobin A1c in Drug-Na ïve Mal-Glucose Metabolism in Chinese Population Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring System.

Conclusions: In drug-naïve patients with T2D or IGT/IFG, PG contributed more in patients with HbA1c < 8.5%, whereas FG became the predominant contributor in the poorly controlled patients with HbA1c ≥ 8.5%. These results may help the health-care provider set appropriate plasma glucose testing goals with the expectation of achieving specific HbA1c values. PMID: 31871450 [PubMed]
