GA detected different individuals with DM from those detected by HbA1c, though it showed overall diagnostic accuracy similar to HbA1c in the diagnosis of DM. Therefore, GA should be used as an additional test rather than an alternative to HbA1c or OGTT and its use as the sole DM diagnostic test should be interpreted with caution.
