The onset oftype 1 diabetes may be more variablein adults; they may not present withthe classic symptoms seen in childrenand may experience temporary remis-sion from the need for insulin (57).The features most useful in discrimina-tion of type 1 diabetes i
14、nclude youngerage at diagnosis (35 years) with lowerBMI (360mg/dL (20 mmol/L) at presentation (8).Occasionally, patients with type 2 diabe-tes may present with DKA (9,10), partic-ularly ethnic and racial minorities (11).It is important for the provider to real-ize that classification of diabetes typ
15、e isnot always straightforward at presenta-tion and that misdiagnosis is common(e.g., adults with type 1 diabetes mis-diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes;individuals with maturity-onset diabetesof the young MODY misdiagnosed ashaving type 1 diabetes, etc.). Althoughdifficultiesindistinguishingdiabet
16、estype may occur in all age-groups atonset, the diagnosis becomes moreobvious over time in people with b-celldeficiency.In both type 1 and type 2 diabetes,various genetic and environmental fac-tors can result in the progressive loss ofb-cell mass and/or function that mani-fests clinically as hypergl
17、ycemia. Oncehyperglycemia occurs, people with allforms of diabetes are at risk for devel-oping the same chronic complications,although rates of progression may differ.The identification of individualized ther-apies for diabetes in the future will beinformed by better characterization ofthe many path
18、s to b-cell demise or dys-function (12). Across the globe manygroupsareworkingoncombiningclinical, pathophysiological, and geneticcharacteristics to more precisely definethe subsets of diabetes that are cur-rently clustered into the type 1 diabetesversus type 2 diabetes nomenclaturewith the goal of
19、optimizing personalizedtreatment approaches. Many of thesestudies show great promise and maysoon be incorporated into the diabetesclassification system (13).Characterizationoftheunderlyingpathophysiology is more precisely devel-oped in type 1 diabetes than in type 2diabetes. It is now clear from pro
20、spectivestudies that the persistent presence oftwo or more islet autoantibodies is anear certain predictor of clinical diabetes(14). The rate of progression is depen-dent on the age at first detection ofautoantibody, number of autoantibodies,autoantibody specificity, and autoanti-body titer. Glucose
21、 and A1C levels risewell before the clinical onset of diabetes,making diagnosis feasible well before theonset of DKA. Three distinct stages oftype 1 diabetes can be identified (Table2.1) and serve as a framework for futureresearch and regulatory decision-making(12,15). There is debate as to whethers
22、lowly progressive autoimmune diabeteswith an adult onset should be termedlatent autoimmune diabetes in adults(LADA) or type 1 diabetes. The clinicalpriority with detection of LADA is aware-ness that slow autoimmune b-cell de-struction can occur in adults leading to along duration of marginal insulin
23、 secre-tory capacity. For the purpose of thisclassification, all forms of diabetes medi-ated by autoimmune b-cell destructionare included under the rubric of type 1diabetes. Use of the term LADA is com-mon and acceptable in clinical practiceand has the practical impact of heighten-ing awareness of a
24、 population of adultslikely to have progressive autoimmuneb-cell destruction (16), thus acceleratinginsulin initiation prior to deterioration ofglucose control or development of DKA(6,17).The paths to b-cell demise and dys-function are less well defined in type 2diabetes,butdeficientb-cellinsulinsec
25、retion, frequently in the setting ofinsulin resistance, appears to be thecommon denominator.Type 2 diabetes isassociated with insulin secretory defectsrelated to genetics, inflammation, andmetabolicstress.Futureclassificationschemes for diabetes will likely focus onthe pathophysiology of the underly
26、ingb-cell dysfunction (12,13,1820).DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR DIABETESDiabetes may be diagnosed based onplasma glucose criteria, either the fast-ing plasma glucose (FPG) value or the2-h plasma glucose (2-h PG) value dur-ing a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT), or A1C criteria (21) (Table 2.2).General
27、ly, FPG, 2-h PG during 75-gOGTT, and A1C are equally appropriatefor diagnostic screening. It should benoted that the screening tests do notnecessarily detect diabetes in the sameindividuals. The efficacy of interventionsfor primary prevention of type 2 diabe-tes (22,23) has mainly been demon-strated
28、 among individuals who haveimpaired glucose tolerance (IGT) with orwithout elevated fasting glucose, notfor individuals with isolated impairedfasting glucose (IFG) or for those withprediabetes defined by A1C criteria.The same tests may be used toscreen for and diagnose diabetes and todetectindividua

Compared with FPG and A1C cutpoints, the 2-h PG value diagnosesmore people with prediabetes and dia-betes (27). In people in whom there isdiscordance betw

In the U.S., point-of-

As discussed in Section6, “Glycemic Targets” (https:/doi.org/10.2337/dc22-S006), point-of-care A1Cassays may be more generally appliedfor assessment of glycemic control in theclinic.A1C has several advantages com-pared with FPG and OGTT, incl
42、udinggreater convenience (fasting not req-uired), greaterpreanalyticalstability,and less day-to-day perturbations dur-ing stress, changes in diet, or illness.However, these advantages may be off-set by the lower sensitivity of A1C atthe designated cut point, greater cost,limited availability of A1C
43、testing in cer-tain regions of the developing world,and the imperfect correlation betweenA1C and average glucose in certain indi-viduals. The A1C test, with a diagnosticthreshold of $6.5% (48 mmol/mol),diagnoses only 30% of the diabetescases identified collectively using A1C,FPG, or 2-h PG, accordin

Despite theselimitations with A1C, in 2009 the Inter-national Expert Committee added A1Cto the diagnostic criteria with the goalof increased screening (21).When using A1C to diagnose diabe-tes, it is important to recognize tha
