Diagnóstico Diabetes
Dr. Carlos González S.
ADA
In 2010, hemoglobin A1c (A1c) was added as a diagnostic tool for individuals with type 2 diabetes. A1c of 6.5% is the threshold for diagnosis. A1c methods used must be certified by the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and standardized or traceable to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial reference assay.5

• Drawbacks to the A1c are cost and availability. Furthermore, A1c is not accurate for individuals who have increased or decreased red blood cell turnover, such as those with hemolytic disease, iron deficiency or pregnancy.5,10 A1c methods may also be inaccurate in the presence of certain hemoglobinopathies.11,12
