Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus

       Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
  The diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is based on blood glucose and clinical symptoms.
  Glycosylated hemoglobin: less than 6.0 mmol/l (check the overall blood glucose changes in the last three months)
  Diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose (blood glucose concentration in mmol/l)

  A few notes on the diagnostic requirements
  (I) Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is confirmed.
  1.With typical symptoms, fasting blood glucose ≥7.0mmol/l or postprandial blood glucose ≥11.1mmol/l.
  2.No typical symptoms, only fasting blood sugar ≥7.0mmol/l or postprandial blood sugar ≥11.1mmol/l should be repeated once again, still reach the above value, can be diagnosed as diabetes.
  3, no typical symptoms, only fasting blood sugar ≥ 7.0mmol/l or postprandial blood sugar ≥ 11.1mmol/l glucose tolerance test 2 hours blood sugar ≥ 11.1mmol/l can be diagnosed as diabetes.
  (ii) Diabetes can be excluded.
  1.If the glucose tolerance 2 hours blood sugar between 7.8-11.1mmol/l, it is impaired glucose tolerance; if the fasting blood sugar 6.1-7.0mmol/l is impaired fasting blood sugar, neither of them is diagnosed as diabetes.
  2. If postprandial blood glucose <7.8mmol/l and fasting blood glucose <5.6mmol/l can exclude diabetes mellitus.
