Utility of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose for screening of Type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of full ROC curves.

In our meta-analysis, we found that the optimal threshold with reference to the 2 h-PG should be chosen between 42 and 44 mmol/mol (6.0-6.2%) for HbA1c , and 6.2-6.4 mmol/l for fasting plasma glucose on the basis of maximal sensitivity and specificity.
