Comparative Study
Normal fasting plasma glucose and risk of type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
The study compares the risk of incident diabetes associated with fasting plasma glucose levels in the normal range, controlling for other risk factors. ⋯ The strong independent association between the level of normal fasting plasma glucose and the incidence of diabetes after controlling for other risk factors suggests that diabetes risk increases as fasting plasma glucose levels increase, even within the currently accepted normal range.
