For each recommended test, this tool will assess whether a result indicates a diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.

* In conditions associated with increased red blood cell turnover, such as sickle cell disease, pregnancy (second and third trimesters), hemodialysis, recent blood loss or transfusion, or erythropoietin therapy, only plasma blood glucose criteria should
be used to diagnose diabetes
** For all three tests, risk is continuous, extending below the lower limit of the range and becoming disproportionately greater at the higher end of the range.
***In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, results should be confirmed by repeat testing.
