0 mmol l−1 . 1 mmol l−1 . 0 mmol l−1 , inclusive. Thus, in young people, the FPG is reasonable at excluding diabetes, whichever ‘normal’ FPG is used. 6 mmol l−1 as ‘normal’ is needed to detect many of the diabetic subjects (although even this will still miss some subjects with undiagnosed diabetes). 7 RANDOM AND POSTPRANDIAL PLASMA GLUCOSE 29 (6%: 95% CI: 13–25%) did not have a diabetic 2 h post-challenge value but rather had a diabetic FPG level. Consequently, it would seem that both fasting and post-challenge glucose values are required for a comprehensive assessment of glucose tolerance status in older people.
A variety of other problems have been identified with many of the studies; for example, while some use a screening test and concentrate on those patients who screen positive compared to just a handful of negative ‘screenees’, and elderly participants may be limited not only in numbers but also in age, often up to only 75 years. 4 The symptoms of diabetes The classic osmotic diabetic symptoms of polyuria and polydipsia occur when the renal threshold for glycosuria has been exceeded. As the renal threshold of glucose rises with age [46], it would be anticipated that symptoms should occur quite late in disease progression.
