How is diabetes diagnosed?

So, diabetes can be diagnosed using the basis of your blood sugar measurements, or we normally use HPNC, which is a measure of your blood sugar control in the last three months. And there are cutoffs from NICE that you can use. in old money, above 48 millimoles is considered to be having purely diabetes. There's a group which is a predisposed to having prediabetes, somewhere Hb1c of 42 or 48, who have impaired glucose tolerance, which essentially means when they take the glucose, the body can't to handle it properly. And that condition develops either through pregnancy or in genetically predisposed people, eventually leading to full blown diabetes.
