Clinicians should use glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to diagnose diabetes, according to new recommendations in diabetes, prediabetes, and cardiovascular disease from two European societies.
The new guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes state that if a patient doesn't have diabetes on the basis of an HbA1c reading, then he or she should be screened with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
