Diabetes risk can be determined using three novel biomarkers which provide information independently of single glucose and HbA1c measures, US researchers have found.
Dr Elizabeth Selvin and colleagues from the John Hopkins School of Medicine in Maryland looked at the link between diabetes risk and levels of fructosamine, glycated albumin and 1,5-anhydroglucitol.
Dr Selvin and her team said these biomarkers could help diagnose diabetes when measures of glucose or HbA1 are not available. The additional tests could also help improve identification of people with diabetes, especially since single measures of glucose or HbA1c in individuals tend to vary over time.
