Overview

Observational analysis evaluates diabetes diagnosis methods in older adults, suggesting the need for repeat testing.

Key Points

  • Diabetes screening revealed 209 individuals with possible diabetes, primarily due to elevated fasting plasma glucose levels.
  • Only 21.1% of the initially diagnosed individuals had both elevated fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin.
  • Observational analysis from the STAREE trial assessed screening tests for diabetes diagnosis in older adults.
  • Findings underscore the need for reinforcing repeat testing to ensure accurate diabetes diagnoses, especially in older populations.
