Determining the 1-hour post-load glucose which identifies diabetes in Africans: Insight from the Africans in America study.

ABSTRACT: Diagnosing diabetes by shortening the OGTT to 1-h and substituting 1-h post-load glucose (PG) ≥ 209 mg/dL for 2-h PG≥200 mg/dL has been proposed. One-hour PG≥209 mg/dL is from a meta-analysis without any African-descent populations. Our data suggest 1-h PG≥183 mg/dL maybe more optimal for Africans. As with waist circumference guidelines, population-specific thresholds may be appropriate.
