A simple way to estimate mean plasma glucose and to identify Type 2 diabetic subjects with poor glycaemic control when a standardized HbA_1c assay is not available

Abstract

The mPG derived from FPG and PPG correlates strongly with HbA(1c). We therefore suggest that using a cut-off of 10 mmol/l for mPG may be appropriate in diabetes management in the primary-care setting, where most management of Type 2 diabetes occurs.
